1945 Freddie Slack - Kitten On The Keys

Well Pardon me for sayin but this is some fine music you got here!

I love the manner in which Freddie, an extremely talented pianist, updated and adapted old novelties such as this one and "Doll Dance" to suit his idiosyncratic boogie style. The way he plays this Zez Confrey specialty number, it becomes "Kittens on the Keys" -- sounds like more than just four paws prancing over the ivories.

This song is the cats pajamas😅

Also, check out his original recording of the instrumental on Decca in 1941. It has some great jive dialogue.
