Hall Negro Quartette

An anonymous quartet who recorded 6 radio transcriptions for the Planned Plan Service in 1936, the Hall Negro Quartette trapped to work tracks and spirituals through the sessions. A lot of the tracks are organized for unaccompanied men’s voices, with periodic, and nearly incidental, piano tossed in occasionally. It’s pretty soft for your day, and was designed for an uptown white radio viewers, which is why it comes uncomfortably near racial parody sometimes, with recommendations to poultry, chitlins, and cornbread.
