Summary
Showcasing the great Cab Calloway in a variety of formats and environments, this splendid compilation of "soundies" and clips from the 1947 feature film Hi-De-Ho is a testament to the master showman's talent. A fantastic performer, Calloway always managed to steal the show--be it fronting his first-class big band in numbers such as "Foo a Little Broogaloo" or "Call of the Jitterbug" or heading a crackerjack small group in "The Calloway Boogie," "St. James Infirmary" or the immortal "Minnie the Moocher."
