Janet Klein and Her Parlor Boys September 28, 2008

Janet Klein and her distinctive musician pals bring to life "obscure, naughty and lovely tunes" of the 1910s, '20s and '30s, delivering a bundle of spirited and inspired renditions of cleverly fun but forgotten Tin Pan Alley, early hot jazz, saucy bits and late ragtime gems. These merrymakers zestfully branch into obscure vaudeville and Vitaphone numbers, Hawaiian, Yiddish novelty tunes, French and Italian knock-out ballads.
