CANADIAN CAPERS, Stephanie Trick Paolo Alderighi
This ragtime piece was written in 1915 by Gus Chandler, Bert White and Henry Cohen. Several decades later Harry Warren and Ralph Blane adapted it into a swinging vocal version called Cuttin Capers for the 1949 musical film, My Dream Is Yours, starring Doris Day. There is some research by ragtime historian Bill Edwards suggesting that Cohen got the idea for a strain of Canadian Capers from a pianist from San Franciscos Barbary Coast, Sid LeProtti, who potentially was the first bandleader to use the word jazz in the name of his band (the So Different Jazz Band).
