EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic black tail coat with a white pocket handkerchief worn by the legendary Cab Calloway. A true symbol of elegance and style, this garment was donned by Calloway himself from 1976 to 1995. Cab Calloway, an African-American jazz singer, dancer, bandleader, and actor, left an indelible mark on American music history. Known for his charismatic stage presence and distinctive voice, he became a prominent figure in the entertainment industry during the 20th century. The black swallow-tailed coat is crafted from a blend of wool and synthetic fabric. Its sleek design features black satin peaked lapels and straight cuffless sleeves that exude sophistication. The plastic buttons add a touch of modernity to this timeless piece. Steeped in cultural heritage, this attire represents not only Cab Calloway's personal style but also pays homage to Black history in America. It evokes memories of vibrant performances at renowned venues like the Cotton Club and other nightclubs where Cab enchanted audiences with his electrifying performances. Preserved within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this artifact serves as a testament to Cab Calloway's enduring legacy as well as his contributions to American music. As we admire this photograph print from After Six's Heritage Art collection, we are reminded of an era when talent transcended boundaries and united people through the power of music.
