Cab Calloway's Jitterbug Party is a 1935 American musical short film which was released by Paramount Pictures (later sold to U.M. & M. TV Corporation). In 2001, the film was reissued by Kino International in the DVD collection Hollywood Rhythm: Vol. 1-The Best Of Jazz And Blues.[1]
Bandleader Cab Calloway and his Orchestra perform "Hotcha Razz-Ma-Tazz" and "Long About Midnight" at the Cotton Club in Harlem, New York before going to a house party and performing "Jitterbug". In the final sequence, a young Lena Horne can be seen as a Cotton Club dancer doing the jitterbug.[2]
