Huestis-Cat’s Pajamas, The (SP)-B/V/X/2M/4T/P

The Cat’s Pajamas by Michael Huestis is based off a slang phrase popularized by “flappers” of the Roaring 1920’s. This phrase was used to describe something that young people thought was “great” or “fun.” This ragtime inspired ensemble features the xylophone player with interjections for the snare drum or drum set performer.
