Cab Kaye

Nii-lante Augustus Kwamlah Quaye, better known as Cab Kaye (3 September 1921, London – 13 March 2000, Amsterdam), was an English jazz singer, pianist, band leader, entertainer, drummer, guitarist and songwriter of Ghanaian and Dutch descent. He was influenced by Billie Holiday and often accompanied himself on piano with a graceful rhythmic style. He combined blues, bebop, stride and scat with the music of his African and Ghanaian musical heritage.

Youth

Cab Kaye, also known as Cab Quay, Cab Quaye and Kwamlah Quaye, was born on St. Giles High Street in Camden, London to a musical family. His Ghanaian great-grandfather was an asafo warrior drummer and his grandfather, Henry Quaye, was an organist for the Methodist Mission church in the former Gold Coast, now called Ghana. Cab's mother, Doris Balderson, sang in English music halls and his father, Caleb Jonas Quaye (born 1895 in Accra, Ghana), performed under the name Ernest Mope Desmond as musician, band leader, pianist and percussionist. With his blues piano style, Caleb Jonas Quaye became popular around 1920 in London and Brighton with his band "The Five Musical Dragons" in Murray's Club with, among others, Arthur Briggs, Sidney Bechet and George "Bobo" Hines.
