Product Description

SLEEPYTIME IN CHINATOWN features six original tunes written by Pete Krebs, David Langenes and the rest of the Stolen Sweets. Three of the originals Sleepytime in Chinatown', 'Willie The Weeper, The Chinatown Creeper' and 'Smokey Joe's Holiday' were inspired by the mystery and intrigue of Chinatown, along with Cab Calloway's use of Chinatown as a backdrop for many of his most famous tunes. Some of Calloway's most familiar characters appear on the record, making it somewhat of an homage -- and sequel -- to Calloway's early yarns. The remaining tunes were inspired by 1930's radio stars The Boswell Sisters' vocal arrangements and Django Reinhardt's gypsy jazz guitar style.
