Amazonレビュー
This engaging documentary captures the legendary blues vocalist and Broadway and film star Alberta Hunter (1895-1984) with a small combo at The Cookery in New York's Greenwich Village in the early 1980s. This performance was taped during her "comeback," which she launched at 82 after her 20-year retirement from show business to become a registered nurse. Hunter's urbane, no-nonsense, and quick-as-a-wit stage demeanor is full of down-home double entendre. She revisits many of her classic jazz standbys, including "Darktown Strutters Ball," the naughty "Handy Man," and the bouncy title track. Narrated by jazz pianist/educator Billy Taylor, My Castle's Rockin' also features interview clips and archival photographs detailing Hunter's childhood in Memphis and Chicago, the Harlem Renaissance, Paul Robeson, and her work overseas. Alberta Hunter is proof positive that good jazz, like fine wine, gets better with age. --Eugene Holley Jr.
Product Description
Winner of...
The American Film Festival- Blue Ribbon
The American Film & Video Festival- Red Ribbon
A Special Interest Video Award (SIVA) Finalist
This award-winning concert film portrays the life of a legendary singer/songwriter, known for her independent spirit and often naughty lyrics. After achieving success for over 40 years with starring roles on Broadway, international tours, and more than a dozen hits, including Downhearted Blues, which became Bessie Smith's biggest hitâ¦Alberta left show business at age 62 to become a nurse.
Twenty years later, at age 82 (the hospital thought she was 70), she was forced to retire. Still full of energy, she returned to singing and made a critically acclaimed comeback, one that made her even more popular. Live from The Cookery in New York, her voice full and rich, hands gesturing and winking at the audience, Hunter proves to be a consummate showwoman to the end.
Alberta opened her personal archives to Producer/Director Stuart Goldman and shared materials never seen before, as well as her last filmed interview prior to her death in 1984 at age 89. In addition to her own provocative and witty performances, this film, narrated by Billy Taylor, features the music of her friends and colleagues Louis Armstrong, Eubie Blake, Bessie Smith, and Fats Waller.
