This double LP from 1974 is a bit brief, including only 20 performances by Cab Calloway and his orchestra (around an hour of music). Several periods are covered, with titles from 1935 ("Nagasaki"), the 1938-1942 period, and nine fairly rare selections from 1945-1947. Highlights include "Jumpin' Jive," "Fifteen Minute Intermission," a 1941 version of "St. James Infirmary," "Hi De Ho Man," and a 1942 rendition of "Minnie the Moocher." On the later tracks, Calloway tries to adapt his sound to rhythm & blues but, despite his best efforts, his orchestra would not survive the '40s.
