[2] Agreed. There is a fairly amazing and equally obscure piano player named Dave McKenna. I'm a huge fan. He's got this version of Rockin' Chair that absolutely swings. It is killer.
Hoagy is indeed the man. Ever hear Jerry Garcia & David Grisman's take on "Rockin' Chair?" Very nice, although when it comes to Jerry playing standards, I prefer his take on Berlin's "Russian Lullaby."
Stardust (or maybe Lush Life or September Song) is my favorite tune of all time. Yeah. I'm dark.
[1] is your tag in tribute to milt jackson?!
i remember playing stardust in high school jazz band. i didn't know the tune or really understand it at that time...
Hoagy RULES.
[1] Nope. Simply the first half of my last name.
