Music reviews of Hot Snow: Queen of Trumpet & Song

Music Review: this is the most complete volume you're going to find
Rating: 5 Stars

I became crazy about Valaida Snow ever since I heard the jamming Minnie the Moocher on the radio. This stuff is a gold mine, unknown to even jazz/swing aficionados. She combines vocals with trumpets in a way no one has managed to do except Louis Armstrong (who called her the "2nd greatest singer/trombonist in the world"). . BTW, the liner notes (prepared by a playwright, I think, were utterly fascinating and the best I'd ever read). And it dispelled lots of myths you'll find repeated in superficial web biographies on wikipedia and elsewhere. I.E. he casts doubt on the silly notion that Snow was involved in the drug scene in Europe during the Nazi takeover.

I am floored that Valaida Snow doesn't merit a single mention in Gary Giddins Visions of Jazz or Mark Gridley's Jazz Styles textbook.

One other thing. I recall checking the other CD's online before buying this 2 CD set. There may be one or two singles on the other releases, but this CD contains almost everything there is to find.

Sonically her best stuff sounds like roy Eldridge/Lionel Hampton, with her interpretations of traditional classics just so idiosyncratic you'll be amazed. Faves: I can't dance, Minnie the Moocher (outmooches Cab Calloway), I want a lot of love, Singing in the Ring, Poor Butterfly.
