Hoagy Carmichael: Stardust and Much More. - sound recording reviews
National Review, March 5, 1990 by Ralph De Toledano
Much More (BMG RCA-bluebird 8333-2-RB) is a compendium of one man's contribution to jazz, as composer of such notable standards as "Stardust" and "Rockin' Chair" and other lovely melodies-and as a performer with some of the pioneering jazz orchestras. He was one of the early adulators of Bix Beiderbecke and an arranger of some distinction, though to millions he is known as the man who played piano behind Lauren Bacall in what-was-that-bogart-movie? This CD features him with Jean Goldkette, Beiderbecke, solo, with his own orchestra, or even with the Sunny Clapp band.
As nostalgia and as jazz, this is one you should have.
