Synopsis

Album Description
Listening to these powerful 1939-41 recordings by Cab Calloway provides a strong reminder of just how good these musicians were. During this period, Cab Calloway was riding high...and as Gillespie and Berry joined the band, they began to shift the Calloway band into an even better one, with more features for soloists. Arrangements are crucial to any big band. While most are written by Andy Gibson or Buster Harding, other important contributors include Chappie Willet, Edgar Battle, Buck Ram, Benny Carter, Don Redman and Jesse Stone.
