Customer Reviews

Brilliant continuation of "The Early Years"
I read a lot of reviews of Cab's "The Early Years" box set & was shocked that there weren't any reviews for this. I assume much of what could be said about "T.E.Y." could be said about this set, but I believe this set to also be a must to (easily) continue any collection of Cab's repertoire. I bought it in early '04 along with "The Early Years" box set and the two sets together are one of the best investments any fan of swing/jazz could make. I love them both.

Picks Up The Heat,Capturing The Era On Another JSP Find
An almost needed companion to the 1st JSP collection "The Early Years" 1930-1934,these 4 Cd's are remastered by by Ted Kendall, features colourful artwork,linernotes,and the flamboyant leader of a man that was the entertainer Cab Calloway and his groups of great swing and Jazz men.
This is a recomendation for those that are skeptical on these JSP sets that I find infectious, since this company are known as quality coming out with their arsenal of box sets that are always packed with stellar sounding music that fans appreciate presented as bargains which they are paying homage to historical music, always with taste,good sound and providing an almost needed service to those still into collecting Cd's rather than the downloading of a single.
I never found a bad JSP set and that includes my Louis Armstrong Hot 5's and 7's, Charlie Parker, Jelly Roll Morton, Eddie Condon,Django, Duke's early sides,Breaking Out Of New Orleans, and now these 2 sets of Cab.
For the Jazz and Blues Aficionado, JSP is a well known for those of you uncertain, you can be sure you are getting a good deal.

More talented than just "minnie the moocher'
This is a revelation of a collection. Spotty American compilations aside, please check this multi-CD pack out. It is great to have so much of Cab's recorded history to enjoy, from the talented musicians in his band to the range of musical styles. Age-related source material aside (leave your "golden ears" at the door), the price is right, too.
