For almost three decades, Jennifer Warnes has been one of the most reputable composers and singers in popular music. The Hunter shows that she is just as successful with light jazz and R&B as with other musical  genres. The album includes gently swaying melodic songs with hushed vocal  harmonies (Rock You Gently), touches of jazz saxophone and funk guitar  (Somewhere Somebody, Big Noise New York), and light-heartened melodies with  playful staccato strings (The Hunter). The bass (I believe stand-up)  playing is understated and curiously improvisational (Big Noise New York,  True Emotion, The Hunter). Michael Landau, studio extraordinary for almost  20 years (assisting the likes of Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, B.B. King,  Rod Stewart and Pink Floyd) provides the savory guitar  refrains.
