Cab Calloway Live - 1940, 44, 45

from Jazz Focus · host jazzbnd

Live broadcasts of the roaring Calloway band from the Meadowbrook in 1940 (featuring Chu Berry, Dizzy Gillespie, Tyree Glenn, Cozy Cole and Jerry Blake) and the Club Zanzibar in 1944 and 45 (with Jonah Jones, Shad Collins, Tyree Glenn, Hilton Jefferson, Ike Quebeck and J.C. Heard). Several vocals by the leader, but the focus is definitely on the instrumentals, some of which have extended solos!
