Big Bad Voodoo Daddy How Big Can You Get? on Vinyl LP! 

America’s favorite contemporary little big band, the award winning jumpin’ jazz/retro swing Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, is set to release their eighth album entitled How Big Can You Get? The 11 song set is a tribute to Cab Calloway, the legendary band leader and jazz singer, and it was recorded in honor of what would have been Cab’s 100th Birthday. 

How Big Can You Get? is a career milestone for Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and not only as an illuminating revival of Calloway’s often hilarious songbook, in the most skilled and enthusiastic hands imaginable. It’s also a revelatory moment for the band, whose musicianship, fire and interpretive powers are at an all-time high.

According to bandleader Scotty Morris “making the album was one of our biggest musical moments.  Delving into Cab's music made us see the high level that his songs were written and arranged at, and why they've lasted. We went top-to-bottom live in the studio and chose the best takes for the album, because Cab's originals were live performances and radio broadcasts. People got a glimpse of him when he stole the show in the Blues Brothers movie. We want people to know he was more than the King of Hi-De-Ho-we want to put a light on Cab's legacy more fully."

Produced by Morris and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the record includes some of Calloway’s classics including “Minnie the Moocher,” “The Ghost of Smokey Joe” and  “The Jumpin’ Jive” alongside some of his less obvious, yet just as powerful tunes like “Reefer Man,” “Calloway Boogie” and “The Old Man of the Mountain” all performed with the band’s usual enthusiastic approach and great interpretation.
