Here's a photograph of Cab Calloway, not quite as he was always dressed. (In a tribute to the music, in this photo he appears dressed in a pure white "Zoot Suit" , with a 'key' chain down to his ankles, but still the white shoes and stockings.) Here's another photo of Cab, who while performing on stage, always appeared dressed in pure white "Tails" , hat, stockings and shoes (even a white cane where applicable).

Cab originally played the piano, but told interviewers that he switched to the drums because his hands gave out before 30 minutes was up.

Cab was raised in Baltimore, MD, USA. While in his teens, the family moved to Chicago where Cab studied at Crane College. In the early 1920s, he made his first stage appearance in the 'Plantation Days' show at the Loop Theatre, Chicago, IL. (Around this time, he also worked with another fine musician, -his sister Blanche, -who at one time had a band of her own.)

While in Chicago, during 1928, Cab was working as the 'emcee' at the Sunset Cafe on Chicago's South Side. One day, during a rehearsal, he decided to do a number with the band, then called "Marion Hardy's Alabamians" , a co-op band. The bandsmen were so impressed that they took a vote and made Cab their leader.

In January 1929, Cab took the band to New York City for a gig, but when the Alabamians went back to Chicago, he stayed in New York and took over the leadership of another band -"The Missourians" , In the Spring of 1929, he returned to Chicago and again acted as both the master of ceremonies and the vocalist with The Alabamians.

In the following two years, his fate was again intertwined with the bands. First, late in 1929, Cab returned to New York to appear on stage with the "Hot Chocolate Revue" before again rejoining "The Alabamians" for an appearance at the Savoy. The next year, 1930, he was again asked to lead the "Missourians" , and again he accepted, but this time taking them to the Cotton Club as 'Cab Calloway and his Orchestra". (For some interesting sidelights, please see our online Missourians, entry.) Perhaps his most famous hit song (and then Theme), "Minnie the Moocher" , was first broadcast from there. (Today, 70 years later, his band is still remembered for their version of "Minnie".)

There is the story that one night during a broadcast, Cab's mind went blank and he forgot the lyrics. He started doing 'scat' singing, and the audience responded, and so he began to also get the band involved. The "Call and Response" of another of his wonderful hit songs, "Hi-dee-ho" was born.

In 1932, Cab went to Hollywood, where he played in several films, among which are: "The Singing Kid" starring Al Jolson; The Big Broadcast of 1933; Stormy Weather (with a young Lena Horne, sitting in a window and singing the title song); Later he appeared in the movie Sensations of 1945, and others.

In 1938, Cab's band consisted of the following sidemen:
       Shad Collins, Trumpet
       Irving Randolph, Trumpet
       Lammar Wright, Trumpet
       Doc Cheatham, Trumpet
       Claude Jones, Trombone
       Keg Johnson, Trombone
       De Priest Wheeler, Trombone
       Chauncey Haughton, Clarinet/Alto-Sax
       Andrew Brown, Clarinet/Alto-Sax
       Walter Thomas, Tenor Sax
       Chu Berry, Tenor Sax
       Bennie Payne, Piano
       Danny Barker, Guitar
       Milton Hinton, String bass
       Leroy Maxie, Drums

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Fair, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to F), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Pls check my other auctions for more great records and phonograph items:

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.50 – 5.00$

2 records: 5.75$

5 records: 7.50$

10 records: 9.50$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 30$.
