Artist: Cab Calloway Title Of Album: The Alternative Takes Year Of Release: 2003 Label: Neatwork Genre: Jazz, Swing, Vocal Jazz Quality: FLAC (tracks+.cue) Cabell Cab Calloway III (December 25, 1907 – November 18, 1994) was an American 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 African American big bands from the start of the 1930s through the late 1940s. Calloways band featured performers including trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie and Adolphus Doc Cheatham, saxophonists Ben Webster and Leon "Chu" Berry, New Orleans guitar ace Danny Barker, and bassist Milt Hinton. Cab Calloway appeared in the Blues Brothers movie in 1980 as the character Curtis and performed his famous 'Minnie the Moocher'.

Cab Calloway's Orchestra is featured on radio broadcasts from two different periods on this CD. Most of the material previously appeared on an Alamac LP. The 1940 performance is most notable for the occasional solos of tenor saxophonist Chu Berry and young trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie (best featured on "Hard Times"). The 1945 broadcast is a bit odd in that Cab only takes one vocal ("St. Louis Blues") on the six numbers; heard from in prominent roles are trumpeter Jonah Jones and tenorman Ike Quebec. A swinging if not quite essential set, recommended most highly to swing specialists. Review by Scott Yanow (allmusic.com) [image=SWucvDoe2E]
