Cab Calloway Orchestra

SAT, NOV 8, 2 PM

Capitol Theater

Hi-de-hi! Ho-de-ho! The swingin’est ensemble around is about to take the stage! The Cab Calloway Orchestra, now under the direction of Cab’s grandson Calloway Brooks, has been dazzling audiences since the 1920s with hot licks, cool arrangements and a smooth hipster style you rarely see anymore. Scat master Cab Calloway rocked the Cotton Club during the 1930s with jazz-era classics like “Minnie the Moocher” and “Swing, Swing, Swing.” Though Cab passed away in 1994, his band is still at it, hot as ever. So dust off the ol’ zoot suit and prepare to travel to a place where swing is king and jive is alive!
