Cab Calloway is cooler than any of the musicians on the list.

I wonder how many would even know of Cab, if it wasn’t for “The Blues Brothers”?

Cab is another I've met. Almost got to play with him, but they only needed two saxophones and I was third call at the time.

Very quiet and serene backstage (charged a dollar for an autograph), but man, when he got on stage, he lit it up! And he was probably late 70s or early 80s at the time.
