Description:
During the Jazz age of the 1920's, 'the cat's pajamas' referred to anything special, unique or 'cool.' Musically speaking, the image of a cat in pajamas might suggest combining low clarinets (reminiscent of Prokofiev's use of a clarinet to describe the cat in 'Peter And The Wolf') with a jaunty little tune in ragtime style, adding a few instrumental 'meows,' and you have (what else?): 'The Cat's Pajamas: A Felicitous Feline Ragtime Novelty!' Audiences and performers will love it from head to tail!
