Synopsis

Amazon.com
The influence of Cab Calloway simply cannot be understated. He was present at the genesis of R&B, rock, hip-hop, swing, and jazz, and his contributions shaped the way the world hears pop music. Thankfully, this task fell upon the zoot-suited shoulders of an artist of wit, intelligence, energy, and the ability to connect one-on-one with his audience. This collection includes tracks from the late '30s up to the late '40s and offers listeners a taste of all Calloway's incredible talents. From his hepster raps like "Are You All Reet?" to his hits like "Minnie the Moocher," Calloway's performances are carefully orchestrated yet loose-limbed and sparkling with humor, and for recordings in mono, the sound is surprisingly good. Highly recommended. --S. Duda

As a Cab fan, a tremendous compilation of the master of hipster pitter patter. Original and unmistakable style throughout leaves you feeling AL REET. The level of recording is very good and the song versions are wonderful. So put on that wide brimmed hat , keep hep and get in step ! If this doesn't have you moving , check, you might be dead
