In stereo for the first time ever! Thanks to the skills of Bob Zwolinski, here's the great Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers performing "Jumpin' Jive" from "Stormy Weather" (1943). Many online clips of this cut out Cab completely, which is a sacrilege. Watch the sax player on the lower right when they start dancing on the bandstands - he is clearly not happy. Also, there's some crazy myth out there about this being shot in one take with no rehearsal. That's ridiculous of course, but the final series of splits were done in one take. Enjoy!
