Cab Calloway: International Jazz Hall Of Famer; Broadway actor; Professor of Jive, whose dictionaries of African-American slang were the official reference works in the New York Library for decades; Bandleader and King Of Hi-De-Ho! Indeed His Hi-De-Highness of Ho-De-Ho, whose immense popularity allowed him to enjoy a six decade recording career, despite the fact that his biggest hits from the 1930s referenced the Harlem drug culture!
His signature song ‘Minnie The Moocher’, first topped the Pop best-seller chart at the height of the jazz age in 1931 and last climbed the R&B chart 47 years later at the height of the disco era, two years before Cab donned his tails to perform the song memorably on screen in “The Blues Brothers”. Revived countless times afterwards in films on both the big screen (“The Mask”) and small (“Jeeves & Wooster”) and ads galore, inspiring Joe Jackson to release a whole LP as a tribute, titled “Jumpin' Jive” after Cab's massive 1939 hit song of the same name.
This compilation, chosen from the best of Cab's 1940s swing era output, includes the powerful 1942 recut of ‘Minnie’ along with his R&B chart hits ‘The Honeydripper’ and ‘The Calloway Boogie’ and also covers of big hits such as ‘Shot Gun Boogie’, ‘The Jungle King’ and ‘One For My Baby’. Also included is an uber-rare soundtrack recording of ‘Geechee Joe’ from the 1943 blockbuster movie “Stormy Weather”.

Similar in some ways to a fabulous 1974 Columbia double LP bearing the same title, yet typical of many Internet-age reissue compilations, this grab bag of mid- to late-period Cab Calloway material comes with vintage posters, publicity photographs, and an informative biographical essay but no discographical information whatsoever. That means no recording dates, no personnel, no real context for where, when, or for which labels these recordings were made. Listeners who know nothing about Cab Calloway can now experience a smattering of his flashiest performances on the same superficial level as the record-buying public of the 1940s. Calloway himself would probably approve of this approach, since only passing reference is made to the presence of great instrumentalists like Dizzy Gillespie. Opening with a 1942 remake of his magnum hit, "Minnie the Moocher," this 26-track sampler touches upon some of Calloway's most inspired and a few of his more hackneyed moments on record, mingling hepcat masterpieces like "Two Blocks Down, Turn to the Left" and a smart rendition of Joe Liggins' "The Honeydripper" with Tennessee Ernie Ford's rockabilly-flavored "Shot Gun Boogie" and Sidney Lippman's misogynistic charade entitled "Your Voice." The best moments occur when Calloway digs into a number that he really enjoys, like "Hey Now! Hey Now!," "A Chicken Ain't Nothin' But a Bird," or "Everybody Eats When They Come to My House." His sophisticated interaction with a smooth vocal group billed as the Cabaliers on "I Want to Rock" and the quasi-operatic outbursts that open and close "The Hi-De-Ho Man" are superb. Historical oddities included here are a hotdog-simple tribute to Joe Louis and a musical segment from the 1943 motion picture Stormy Weather entitled "Geechie Joe." ~ arwulf arwulf, All Music Guide

One of the great entertainers, Cab Calloway was a household name by 1932, and never really declined in fame. A talented jazz singer and a superior scatter, Calloway's gyrations and showmanship on-stage at the Cotton Club sometimes overshadowed the quality of his always excellent bands. The younger brother of singer Blanche Calloway (who made some fine records before retiring in the mid-'30s), Cab grew up in Baltimore, attended law school briefly, and then quit to try to make it as a singer and a dancer. For a time, he headed the Alabamians, but the band was not strong enough to make it in New York. The Missourians, an excellent group that had previously recorded heated instrumentals but had fallen upon hard times, worked out much better. Calloway worked in the 1929 revue Hot Chocolates, started recording in 1930, and in 1931 hit it big with both "Minnie the Moocher" and his regular engagement at the Cotton Club. Calloway was soon (along with Bill Robinson, Ethel Waters, Louis Armstrong, and Duke Ellington) the best-known black entertainer of the era. He appeared in quite a few movies (including 1943's Stormy Weather), and "Minnie the Moocher" was followed by such recordings as "Kicking the Gong Around," "Reefer Man," "Minnie the Moocher's Wedding Day," "You Gotta Hi-De-Ho," "The Hi-De-Ho Miracle Man," and even "Mister Paganini, Swing for Minnie." Among Calloway's sidemen through the years (who received among the highest salaries in the business) were Walter "Foots" Thomas, Bennie Payne, Doc Cheatham, Eddie Barefield, Shad Collins, Cozy Cole, Danny Barker, Milt Hinton, Mario Bauza, Chu Berry, Dizzy Gillespie, Jonah Jones, Tyree Glenn, Panama Francis, and Ike Quebec. His 1942 recording of "Blues in the Night" was a big hit.
With the end of the big band era, Calloway had to reluctantly break up his orchestra in 1948, although he continued to perform with his Cab Jivers. Since George Gershwin had originally modeled the character Sportin' Life in Porgy and Bess after Calloway, it was fitting that Cab got to play him in a 1950s version. Throughout the rest of his career, Calloway made special appearances for fans who never tired of hearing him sing "Minnie the Moocher."
