Finally got a chance to read Cab Calloway's autobiography; seems the feud with Dizzy wasn't as bad as all that. Or at least Cab mellowed with age & embraced the bop. ... still, i'm sure CC would have been a bastard to work for.

Brilliant dude, though.

A little Satie in there, maybe. Or Debussy.

@Brian: The cool thing is that he was playing both pianos on that track. He would record one and then play another one to the track he just recorded. Just like Leon Sash on last week's show! :)
