Janet Klein & Her Parlor Boys Present "READY FOR YOU" produced by Robert Loveless Hot & Beautiful Vintage Jazz from the 1910's, 20' & 30's. Ready for You opens with terrific swingy dance numbers by a spirited singer and band that has put a spit shine and Polish on it's ensemble musicianship. These wonderfully robust tunes will set you jazzing for romance and hurly-burly speakeasy steppin out. Starting with the title track (I m Getting Myself Ready for You a rare Cole Porter song originally by Blanche Calloway - Cab's sister), you ll be rocking to the rafters and then Bear Hugging your baby. From there, the tunes roll into new stylistic water with steamy Riverboat shuffles and a hot southern style repertoire specifically designed for and being performed in intimate historic settings in the US. New to the mix, this break out trio featuring Janet and her first Parlor Boy - John Reynolds who's known for his expert whistling and hotter-than-hell guitar and banjo playing. John provided accompaniment on her 1st CD Come Into My Parlor and is joined with maestro violinist Benny Brydern (Hot Club Quartet) a Parlor Boy regular. This little threesome performs with tremendous drive utter simplicity. Along with the swinging & swaying there's dreamy romance tunes delivered with great arrangements and timeless lyrics by the sweet and vivacious Ms. Klein. As always there's plenty of variety with obscure movie tunes, a load of sassy Dixie mania, novelties and jazz age tales of bad behavior all mixed with a yummy plate of down home fun. Three songs feature Janet singing duets and harmonies with Parlor Fellows- John Reynolds (grandson of 20's 30's movie star Zazu Pitts), Ian Whitcomb (music historian and 60's pop star) and David Barlia (fellow ukulelian and eefing crooner David Barlia).
