Editorial Review:

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

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Solid boys, I dig!!
Ok folks, I know nothing about jazz. I couldn't tell you the difference between Coletrain and a choo-choo train. But, I can tell you with complete authority that this CD is the most complete, undiluted, unadulterated expression of pure joy I've ever heard. Listening to this collection is like taking a happy pill!

If contemporary artists have any pretense to being "cool" or "hip", they need only to investigate Calloway and his music for a reality check. This man is the real thing, ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Love This!
I love this collection from Cab Calloway.

It's great for driving or cooking in the kitchen...
and my six year old selects this when she needs something
"jazzy" to dance to.

There are many rocking songs with great lyrics.
...Have a banana Hannah...


If you like old time and big band style jazz
I think you will like this.
I love it.

Cabell Calloway, born in Rochester, N/Y. on Christmas Day 1907, had his first hit as a band leader with St. Louis Blues when that W.C. Handy classic went to # 16 for the Brunswick label as by "The Jungle Band." A few months later what became his theme song, and based on the old folk tune, Willie The Weeper, rose to # 1 as Minnie The Moocher in the spring of 1931 on Brunswick 6074. The version here (he re-recorded it many times) was cut on February 2, 1942 and released on Okeh 4753, but did not chart. ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Cab "the man" Calloway
If you are a Cab fan, you must own this. If you are a fan of swing music, you should own this.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - All reet!
The twenty-two tracks on CAB CALLOWAY * ARE YOU HEP TO THE JIVE? were recorded between 1939 and 1947, and are drawn from the COLUMBIA, OKEH and VOCALION archives. One wonders why 1950's "Jumpin' Jive" isn't here as well-- it would fit nicely. Three songs within this set, "What's Buzzin' Cousin," "Chant Of The Jungle" and "Don't Falter At The Altar" are previously unreleased material.

These old 78s have been meticulously remastered, and the transfers have a lot of presence. Truth is, the pre ... Read More
