Description:

Hoagy Carmichaels last significant recording is a project whose format should have been repeated in later years. Sticking to vocals, Carmichael performs ten of his compositions. What is unusual is that he is accompanied by an 11-piece all-star jazz group and that his voice takes its turn with trumpeters Harry Sweets Edison and Don Fagerquist, altoist Art Pepper, and pianist Jimmy Rowles. The match up works quite well, for Hoagys songs have long been viable devices for jazz improvising. 1. Georgia On My Mind 3:59 2. Winter Moon 4:12 3. New Orleans 3:55 4. Memphis In June 3:48 5.
