Two Signed Publicity Photos Of Cab Calloway, Additionally Signed By His Seven Cab Jivers Calloway, Cab Art & Photography,Music And Performing Arts

Fantastic set of signed photos from the great American band leader. In 1948, Calloway disbanded his large orchestra in favor of a smaller band of 7, called the "Cab Jivers." This downsized group consisting of Panama Francis, Jonah Jones, Milt Hinton, Dave Rivera, Sam Taylor, F "Keg" Johnson, and Hilton Jefferson was suitable for smaller venues as well as television appearances. Each member has signed the closeup photo of Calloway, and Cab has inscribed the other with best wishes and "Hi de Ho." Photos signed by the entire ensemble are not common. Two 10x8" silver gelatin publicity photos, both showing Calloway, in his double breasted suit. One photo is inscribed by Calloway to a Peggy Jo, and the other is signed by his small band, the Cab Jivers. Caption pasted to the lower margin of each, few remnants to corners from previous mounting. Generally very good
