Cab Calloway's Jitterbug Party was another entertaining musical short, 10 February 2008
10/10
Author: tavm from Baton Rouge, La.

After performing two numbers in the Cotton Club-the first one with nothing but gibberish, Cab takes some friends to the title party where he sings one more number, "The Call of the Jitterbug" before it's called a reel...The announcer is the only white guy I saw here so this is obviously a major studio production (Paramount). Since there's no contrived plot and just Cab calling to his friends at a table is the only dialogue here, this was another entertaining musical short that appeared on the DVD from Kino Video called "Hollywood Rhythm Vol. 1: The Best of Jazz and Blues". It's nice to know so many of the Hi-De-Ho man's early music performances have been preserved for posterity.
