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!
