Cab Calloway

The biography of Cab Calloway by Jean François Pitet , illustrated by Cabu and accompanied by 2 compact discs.

Here is the unexpected meeting between a jazz star and an emblematic comic book character: Cab Calloway recounts his life to the great Duduche . And it is Cabu , fan of the first and creator of the second, who puts into images this dialogue full of complicity and humor. The eternal lover of the principal's daughter will learn a lot from the man who has remained faithful to Minnie The Moocher all his life. It must be said that Cab Calloway (1907-1994) was a singer , conductor , dancer , entertainer who marked the history of jazz : the Cotton Club and its chorus girls, the epic of big bands and their decline, Broadway and Porgy and Bess and even the revival at over 70 years old with the film The Blues Brothers ... Cab has known it all and it is logical that he entrusts his secrets to the favorite character of Cabu .
