Inspired by Cab Calloway
Cabell
"Cab" Calloway III (December 25, 1907
– November 18, 1994) was jazz singer and bandleader. He was strongly associated
with the Cotton Club in Harlem New
York City, where he was a regular performer.
Calloway was a master of energetic scat singing and led one of the
United States’ most popular big bands from the start of the 1930s through to
the late 1940s. Calloway's band featured performers including trumpeters Dizzy
Gillespie and Adolphus “Doc” Cheatam, saxophonists Ben Webster and Leon “Chu”
Berry, New Orleans guitar ace Danny Barker, and bassist Milt Hinton. Calloway
continued to perform until his death in 1994 at the age of 86.
