Editorial Reviews

: Susan Carpenter, LA Times, July 4, 2002

Klein's rendering of the music goes beyond entertainment it's also a history lesson, keeping old music alive

Janet's a dainty incarnation of the 1920s ballroom singer, looking more It than Clara Bow, the music comes to life

Janet Klein's ukulele is no gimmick. Klein and her Parlor Boys are about as real a deal as it gets

Product Description

Janet Klein and her disctinctive musician pals bring to life 22 rare, diverse and lively songs from the 1910s, 20s and 30s with Janet's third and most ambitious CD "Put A Flavor To Love". The charming Ms. Klein and her band The Parlor Boys deliver a bundle of spirited and inspired renditions of cleverly fun but forgotten Tin Pan Alley, early hot jazz, saucy bits and late ragtime gems. Adding to the band's already extensive performing repertoire of early jazz tunes these merry-makers zestfully branch into obscure vaudeville and Vitaphone numbers, Hawaiian, Yiddish and Fench knock-out ballads. the CD's 22 song selections of rich musical heritage are once again gorgeously packaged, inspired by early 20th century ephemera and designed by Janet and friends. Produced by Robert Loveless (of Scenic). Put A Flavor to Love is a feast for the ears, eyes and heart!

If you ever want to go back in time, and put a smile on your face, just put in a Janet Klein album and enjoy. We were lucky enough to have them play our wedding and they set the entire scene and created a truly magical evening under carnival lights and the stars. They are a delight on CD as well as live. Their on stage personas carry through their lives and you find they are geniune fun people who just love to play wonderful music.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Genuine Article, January 6, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Put A Flavor To Love (Audio CD)

Janet and her Parlour Boys have exquisitely reincarnated the brilliant charm of the music of the 1900's to 1930's. This album is generously packed with some of the most wonderful recordings, from hot Dixie jazz to Vaudevillian music hall. Janet's sweet dizzy charm is thoroughly genuine, absolutely true to the era, and yet all her own. This is no immitation--this is the genuine article.
