Cab Calloway Used to Live in Hartsdale, New York

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 20:24:13 -0500

Cab Calloway lived in Greenburgh, New York on Knollwood Road. His daughter and family are trying to repurchase the familyhome and turn it into a museum. In case you don't know who Cab Calloway is here is a segment from Wikipedia and a You Tube clip of him performing. From the Journal News today:

"The family sold the Greenburgh home after Calloway died in 1994 and has since begun a fundraising campaign to reacquire and renovate it. Calloway's daughter, Ceceila Lael Calloway, will hold a small gathering for friends and family with live music there Sunday to raise money for the Cab Calloway Music, Arts, and Cultural Preservation Foundation"

Cabell "Cab" Calloway III (December 25, 1907 – November 18, 1994) was a famous American jazz singer and bandleader. Calloway was a master of energetic scat singing and led one of the United States' most popular African American big bands from the start of the 1930s through the late 1940s. Calloway's Orchestra featured performers that included trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie and Adolphus "Doc" Cheatham, saxophonists Ben Webster and Leon "Chu" Berry, New Orleans guitar ace Danny Barker, and bassist Milt Hinton. Calloway continued to perform until his death in 1994 at the age of 86.

Hartsdale, NY

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:52:51 -0500

Hartsdale is a wonderful little Hamlet in the town of Greenburgh, NY with a population of about 10,000.

The first house I ever sold was in Hartsdale, and I have always enjoyed the Hamlet. The commute to Grand Central Station in NYC is about half an hour and the train station is on the Scarsdale border, so the trains in this moderately priced community are shared by Scarsdale residents.

The things that I love about Hartsdale are numerous.

The convenience as a bedroom community of NYC
The village feeling in the area around the train station.
The Saturday morning farmer's market.
The condos and co-ops along E. Hartsdale ave.
The reasonable priced starter homes
The Greenburgh Town Park
Hartsbrook, The old Gillette Estate, now a park
The Elegant Tudors and Colonials of Manor Woods.

This is a wonderful community just South of Bustling White Plains with Central Ave. shopping running right through the middle.

The single family homes range from $410,000 to $1,569,000 right now.

The Condos range from $270,000 to $729,000

The Co-ops range from $117,000 to $369,000

Hope you are enjoying the wonderful spring weather.

All the best!

Kevin
