Hoagy Carmichael and Jack Teagarden (1939) Still relatively new to movies ("Topper" was in '37; "To Have and Have Not" wouldn't be filmed till '44), Hoagy is slightly uncomfortable but game here, as he introduces Jack Teagarden's first big band (trumpeter Charlie Spivak solos on "Stardust"; future Glenn Miller reedman Ernie Caceres is also present). The short features several of Hoagy's best known songs, sung by Hoagy, Big Tea or Meredith Blake, one of the better but underrated big band "girl singers." Tags: Hoagy_Carmichael Jack_Teagarden |

He is best known for writing the melody to "Stardust" (1927), one of the most-recorded American songs of all time. Carmichael always spelled it "Star Dust", but the space is usually dispensed with. Alec Wilder, in his study of the American popular song, concluded that Hoagy Carmichael was the "most talented, inventive, sophisticated and jazz-oriented" of the hundreds of writers composing pop songs in the first half of the 20th century. Born in Bloomington, Indiana, Carmichael was the only son of Howard Clyde Carmichael and Lida Robison. He was named Hoagland after a circus troupe "The Hoaglands" who stayed at the Carmichael house during his mother's pregnancy. Howard was a horse-drawn taxi driver and electrician, and Lida a versatile pianist who played accompaniment at silent movies and for parties. The family moved frequently, as Howard sought better employment for his growing family. At six, Carmichael started to sing and play the piano, absorbing easily his mother's keyboard skills. By high school, the piano was the focus of his after-school life, and for inspiration he would listen to ragtime pianists Hank Wells and Hube Hanna. At eighteen, the small, wiry, pale Carmichael was living in Indianapolis, trying to help his family's income working in manual jobs in construction, a bicycle chain factory, and a slaughterhouse. The bleak time was partly spelled by four-handed piano duets with his mother and by his strong friendship with Reg DuValle, black bandleader and pianist known as "the elder statesman of Indiana jazz" and "the Rhythm King", who taught him piano jazz improvization. The death of his three year old sister in 1918 affected him deeply and he wrote "My sister Joanne—the victim of poverty. We couldn't afford a good doctor or good attention, and that's when I vowed I would never be broke again in my lifetime." She may have died from influenza, which had swept the world that year.[6]Carmichael earned his first money ($5.00) as a musician playing at a fraternity dance that year and began his musical career.[7] Carmichael attended Indiana University and the Indiana University School of Law, where he received his Bachelor's degree in 1925 and a law degree in 1926. He was a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity and played the piano all around the state with his "Collegians" to support his studies. He met, befriended, and played with Bix Beiderbecke, the great cornetist (and sometime pianist) and fellow Mid-westerner. Under Beiderbecke's spell, Carmichael started to play the cornet as well, but found that he didn't have the lips for it, and only played it for a short while. He was also influenced by Beiderbecke's impressionistic and classical musical ideas. On a visit to Chicago, Carmichael was introduced by Beiderbecke to Louis Armstrong, who was then playing with King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, and with whom he would collaborate later. He began to compose songs, Washboard Blues and Boneyard Shuffle for Curtis Hitch, and also Riverboat Shuffle, recorded by Beiderbecke, which became a staple of "white" jazz and Carmichael's first recorded song. After graduating in 1926, he moved to Miami to join a local law firm but failing the bar exam returned to Indiana in 1927. He joined an Indiana law firm and passed the state bar, but devoted most of his energies to music, arranging band dates, and "writing tunes". He had discovered his method of songwriting, which he described later: "You don't write melodies, you find them...If you find the beginning of a good song, and if your fingers do not stray, the melody should come out of hiding in a short time." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoagy_Carmichael Tags: roman new orleans few stars pavese supnick sanjust urso dixieland dixie jazz festival dresda germany |

Willie Nelson's version of this is probably one of my favorites! ok, cheers and stars! donT 4get not to count them, but make them all count! last but not least " is an American popular song composed in 1927 by Hoagy Carmichael with the lyrics added four years later by Mitchell Parish.[1] "Stardust" (the song's original title was "Star Dust", which has long since been compounded into "Stardust"[2]) was written at the Book Nook in Bloomington, Indiana (across the street from the Indiana University School of Law, where Carmichael had attended school ) on an old upright piano, and first recorded in Richmond, Indiana for Gennett Records by Carmichael's band in 1927 as a peppy jazz number. Carmichael said he was inspired by the types of improvisations made by Bix Beiderbecke. The tune at first attracted only moderate attention, mostly from fellow musicians, a few of whom (including Don Redman) recorded their own versions of Carmichael's tune. Carmichael reworked the piece as a slow ballad in 1929, and the same year Mitchell Parish added lyrics.[clarify] Carmichael wanted to make a new recording for Gennett, but company executives vetoed the idea since they already had his earlier version in their catalogue. Bandleader Isham Jones, however, recorded Carmichael's new arrangement of "Stardust" which became the first of many hit records of the tune. By 1932 over two dozen other bands had recorded "Stardust". "Stardust" was covered by almost every prominent band of that time. Versions have been recorded by Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie, Nat King Cole, Mel Tormé, Connie Francis, Harry Connick Jr, Ella Fitzgerald, The Peanuts, Django Reinhardt, Barry Manilow, John Coltrane, Rod Stewart, Willie Nelson, Billy Ward and the Dominoes, and many others. However, it has been the Artie Shaw version of 1941, with memorable solos by Billy Butterfield (trumpet) and Jack Jenney (trombone) that remains the favorite orchestral version of the Big Band era. Like many other standards of the Great American Songbook, the verse is both highly melodic and musically sophisticated. Frank Sinatra famously recorded just the verse in a 1961 Reprise recording, much to Carmichael's chagrin (although Carmichael is said to have changed his mind on hearing the recording). and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoagy_Carmichael and Tags: not coffee stardust by hoagey carmichael |
