Great band, excellent singers, fantastic music by the great Fats Waller. These songs from the 20's and 30's are timeless and still feel fresh today. The only drawback was Yoshi's sound system, which did not do justice to the fine singers.Written on Jan 10 2011

Description
Ain't Misbehavin' is a tribute to the black musicians of the 1920s and '30s who were part of the Harlem Renaissance, an era of growing creativity, cultural awareness, and ethnic pride, and takes its title from the 1929 Waller song "Ain't Misbehavin'". It was a time when Manhattan nightclubs like the Cotton Club and the Savoy Ballroom were the playgrounds of high society and Lenox Avenue dives were filled with piano players banging out the new beat known as swing. Five performers present an evening of rowdy, raunchy, and humorous songs that encapsulate the various moods of the era and reflect Waller's view of life as a journey meant for pleasure and play.
On February 8, 1978, Ain't Misbehavin' opened in the Manhattan Theatre Club's East 73rd Street cabaret with featured singer Irene Cara. Its reception was such that it was decided to develop it into a full-scale production. After fourteen previews, the Broadway production, directed by Maltby with musical staging and choreography by Arthur Faria, opened on May 9, 1978 at the Longacre Theatre, later moving to the Plymouth and then the Belasco before finally completing its 1604-performance run on February 21, 1982. The original cast featured Nell Carter, André DeShields, Armelia McQueen, Ken Page, and Charlayne Woodard. Luther Henderson adapted Waller's music for the revue and served as the production's original pianist. Replacements later in the run included Debbie Allen, Yvette Freeman, Adriane Lenox, and Alan Weeks. An original cast recording was released by RCA Victor.
