Hoagy Carmichael - The Stardust Road
1982 MCA Records compilation LP. Thrift store find from Sandy, UT. Solo piano w/ vocal, and backing jazz accompaniment on most tracks. Music for cocktails, or you can listen while giving yourself a good shave to fill the house with an old school barbershop feel, as I did this morning. The recordings featured here are from 1939 to 1951, although he wrote many of these songs in the late 20s. Hoagy was a jazz pianist and composer active from 1918 to 1981, although it seems the majority of his output was pre-50s. Favorites: 'Star Dust,' 'Rockin' Chair,' and 'Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief.'
