About this item
A jazz classic that has stood the test of time, this arrangement captures all the magic of this great Cab Calloway tune from the 1930s. Also known as the "Hi-dee-ho" song, it was re-popularized by Cab himself in a 1970s comedy film that featured two brothers singing the blues that were "on a mission from God." Included in this arrangement for your orchestra is the famous vocal scat that made this a huge hit that spans generations. Audiences of all ages are sure to enjoy joining in the fun and singing along on your next concert!

Composer
Cab Calloway
Cabell "Cab" Calloway III (December 25, 1907 – November 18, 1994) was an African- American jazz singer and bandleader. He was strongly associated with the Cotton Club in Harlem, New York City, where he was a regular performer.
Calloway was a master of energetic scat singing and led one of the United States' most popular African American big bands from the start of the 1930s through the late 1940s. Calloway's band featured performers including trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie and Adolphus "Doc" Cheatham, saxophonists Ben Webster and Leon "Chu" Berry, New Orleans guitar ace Danny Barker, and bassist Milt Hinton. Calloway continued to perform until his death in 1994 at the age of 86.
