The joint is jumpin' at the Ahmanson Theatre's revival of the 1978 off-Broadway musical Ain't Misbehavin'. Based on the life and works of jazz pianist Fats Waller, and full of bawdy standards and double-entendre dance numbers, the show is a foot-tapping tribute to the Harlem Renaissance. Armed with a songbook that would make Dorothy Parker proud ("One never knows, do one?" quips Waller at one point), Ain't Misbehavin' is also a long-overdue introduction for music fans who might be unfamiliar with Waller, a too-often underrated American legend.
