Hoagy Carmicheal In Person 1925-1955

At last, available for the first time the definitive study of Hoagy Carmichael in a splendid 10 CD BOX SET from the masters of re-mastered nostalgiaâ€¦..AVID Entertainment. Our collection follows Hoagy from his earliest moments on record with the likes of Hitchâ€™s Happy Harmonists, Paul Whiteman and Louis Armstrong into the 1930â€™s where he was to have his most fruitful period and arguably his greatest success with such classics as Star Dust, Rockinâ€™Chair and Georgia On My Mind. Our journey continues into the 40â€™s and 50â€™s where the master not only produces great new work but creates new versions of old classics often better sung and better realised than the earlier 20â€™s and 30â€™s recordings. Decca recordings are heavily featured throughout the Box Set alongside many tracks which first appeared on V-Disc as well as a variety of bootleg labels. For the first time, the ARA label is represented featuring Hoagy as singer and pianist singing such classics as Snowball and ! Lazy Bones and perhaps foreshadowing the likes of Elton John and Billy Joel. For an untrained musician Hoagy Carmichael made an enormous contribution to 20th Century music and left us a magnificent legacy of standards as this well packaged and re-mastered Box Set illustrates. It is sadly perhaps, a lost era now, as Hoagy said in 1979, "I could have accomplished a hell of a lot moreâ€¦..but rock just knocked me outâ€¦I just quit almost on account of rock n roll!" His last hit was in 1950 but his musical legacy will live on forever.
