King Porter Stomp - Cab Calloway and His OrchestraAnother triumph from Rich Conaty, host of the weekly radio programme "The Big Broadcast" from WFUV-FM in New York City. As with previous volumes, his approach is to pursue rare and/or hitherto unreissued recordings with the single-mindedness of a Victoroan lepidopterist, and boy,he certainly nets some goodies! For example, the opener is a rare private recording by a band that would be unknown today but for the presence in its 1923 ranks of the Dorsey brothers. The closer is another extreme rarity, a number never released commercially by Cab Calloway.In between is as varied a mix of treasures from the twenties and thirties as you could wish for, the added attraction being that whilst most numbers are well- known to devotees of the period, they appear here in unfamiliar versions. As a result we can enjoy the glorious voice of Singin' Sam, Denny Dennis with Roy Fox, and James Stewart singing "Day After Day", to name but a few. The 16-page glossy illustrated booklet sets out background information on each track, and if you already own earlier volumes you'll need no urging to add this to your collection. If not, now's the chance to find out what you've been missing"
