Cab Calloway’s powerful exuberance is well-documented on the 4 CD set This Is Hep featuring his 104 greatest recordings from 1930-1949. This delightful boxed set boasts everything that made Cab an icon: a well-arranged hot band with some of the best soloists around, great songs, from standards to the famous novelty and scat classics, and a joy that will bring you out of the lowest mood. Hear this set and you’ll probably go out and buy a big white wide-brimmed hat and a zoot suit so you can jive with the best. A 48-page booklet includes a fascinating biography, complete discography and rare photos.
Cab Calloway & His Orchestra This Is Hep 4 CD set is brand new; it has never been opened or played, still in its original factory shrink-wrap. The great showman was truly “hep” as these 104 swingin’ performances prove...
