CAB CALLOWAY - Another thing I never learned in school - NOW I KNOW

Source of Pictures of Cab Calloway

I accidentally came across the PBS TV American Masters tonight, while working in the kitchen and loved the hour documentary Cab Calloway: Sketches.

I don't know if it will be aired in your area, but it is FABulous. It ran in the month of February, for Black history month, although I saw it tonight (in March).

..............................................................................................................................................................................
I especially loved the dance at 3:30 in this video, which comes at the end of the documentary.

Stever Brodner creates a second sketch of Cab Calloway to Calloway's classic hit "Minnie The Moocher" for the documentary AMERICAN MASTERS Cab Calloway: Sketches, premiered nationally Monday, February 27, 2012. Brodner's completed sketch comes alives and dances alongside Matthew Rushing, choreographer/principal dancer of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. In the New York metro-area the film aired Sunday, February 26, 2012.

Watch full documentary online

Watch Cab Calloway: Sketches on PBS. See more from American Masters.
