Cab Calloway
The Hi-De-Ho man.
Cab Calloway, 1933
About The artist
"The trademark Calloway image, which combined an almost cat-like grace on the bandstand with a singing style that could be slyly insinuating one moment and wildly exuberant the next, came into full bloom on a night in 1931 when he was leading his band in a radio broadcast from the Cotton Club in Harlem."
John S. Wilson, The New York Times
