Box of Firecrackers September 5, 2008
Playing through this collection is the next best thing to finding a trunkful of pristine condition 78s featuring the likes of Annette Hanshaw, Helen Kane, and Ruth Etting. Janet Klein and her Parlor Boys have at it with nineteen saucy songs from the mid-teens through the mid-thirties and fill them with new life and crackling mischief.
Ms. Klein vocalizes these sultry, suggestive gems as though to the manner born, even raising some heat out of thin numbers like "Lookie Lookie Here Comes Cookie." Best of all are numbers like "My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes" that mesh sauciness with an arch sense of humor. The Parlor Boys are a wonderful ensemble, fully in-tune with a Jazz Age sensibility, but not hostage to it.
There isn't much in the way of liner notes, just a detailed list of the songs, the personnel for each number, and some fun novelty photos of the gang in an amusement pier setting. Which is wholly appropriate for a collection that plays like a hot and jazzy day at a carnival from yesteryear.
