User Reviews

Average user review: 2.0 (1 reviews)

rating: 2 QuoteIncongruous and puzzlingQuote
This is a disappointing collection. Scatman Crothers only performs 4 songs on this whole disc, and they are recent numbers, not pieces from his Cotton Club heyday.

Likewise the Cab Calloway material. This is Cab in the 1970's, imitating Sammy Davis Jr., doing show tunes and Vegas Lounge numbers, an entirely forgettable performance. It's not terrible, but the title is terribly misleading-- neither artist ever sounded like *this* at the Cotton Club.
What was Laserlight thinking?

Oh.. they were thinking they could get away with it... avoid this release. October 29, 2008
