Night Life

Lurlean Hunter's recording career ran for fifteen years, and then unexpectedly ended in the mid-1960s. Hunter (1919-1983) was working with the George Shearing Quintet in 1951 and in the mid-1950s recorded four amazing albums surrounded by the creme de la cremeof the jazz world at that time. On Night Life, she is heard with an all-star band conducted by Manny Albam featuring Al Cohn, Joe Newman, Barry Galbraith, and Hank Jones.
