His orchestral backing during the Thirties and Forties included many well-known names in jazz. At various times, Milt Hinton, Danny Barker, and Cozy Cole were in his rhythm section. The reeds included the late, great Chu Berry as well as Ben Webster. Dizzy Gillespie was in the band, some members of which, at odd moments, served as a laboratory for the style to be called Bop. \"This whole new chord structure idea was interesting to me,\" Milt Hinton recalled, \"and I would walk the new chords behind his playing.\" Cab wasn't the least enthusiastic. Danny Barker quoted him as saying, \"I don't want you playing that Chinese music in my band.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main attraction, however, was always Cab-showman, singer, and entertainer. Most audiences didn't even know that some of his sidemen were candidates for the Jazz Hall of Fame. And that was as it should be. The musicians' first function was to provide musical backing and a musical setting for the man who was being called \"King of the Hipsters,\" and this they did, wonderfully well. It was as Barry Ulanov noted in Metronome ( January, 1943) a band extraordinary in every respect, hailed for its \"clean musicianship, its jazz kicks, its brilliant showmanship.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSt. James Infirmary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Honeydripper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlues In The Night (My Mama Done Tol' Me)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiss Otis Regrets (She's Unable To Lunch Today)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharlie Chan (From China)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(Hep-Hep!)
