Nino Tempo & April Stevens – Stardust(1964/02)
ニノ・テンポとエイプリル・スティーブンス
途中、語りになる。

Pop Chart Peaks: Music Vendor 22, Cash Box 30, Billboard 32
That’s Nino on tenor sax behind April’s introduction to the Hoagy Carmichael standard.

Bob Crosby and his Bobcats – Stardust(1959/01)

Los Indios Tabajaras – Star Dust(US:1964, JP:1964/06)
ロス・インディオス・タバハラス – スターダスト

Pat Suzuki – Star Dust
from the album “Pat Suzuki”(1958)

Nat “King” Cole – Stardust(1957 mono LP mix)
orchestra conducted by Gordon Jenkins.

Classic track by Cole & Jenkins was not issued as a single, but did register on the Top 100 via a four-cut EP release from the “Love Is The Thing” LP, which itself spent 21 months on Billboard’s album charts, including eight weeks at #1. This early 1957 album was one of the earlier examples of commercial’pop’ product being recorded in true stereophonic sound (though initially issued only in standard mono LP form). I have included here the stereo version of “Stardust.”

Stan Kenton – Stardust(1955)

Artie Shaw & his Orchestra – Star Dust(1941)

The most famous of big band era “Star Dust” versions, arranged by Lennie Hayton and featuring solos by Artie, Billy Butterfield (trumpet) and Jack Jenney (trombone).

Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra – Star Dust(1941)
vocal: Frank Sinatra and The Pied Pipers

One of eight Dorsey-Sinatra hits in this 1941 collection that reached the top-ten of Billboard’s weekly singles charts

Dinah Shore with Paul Laval and his Woodwindy Ten – Star Dust(1941)
recorded in NYC August 18, 1941

1941 NBC’s Chamber Music Society II: 02 Star Dust (Dinah Shore)
This track was issued as one of eight in Victor’s third of four early-1940s album sets that featured cast members of NBC’s weekly program “The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street.” The tongue-in-cheek presentations of jazz, blues and Dixieland were performed by studio musicians led by Henry Levine and Paul Laval with vocals during the early seasons by Dinah Shore, Lena Horne and Linda Keene. Spoken introductions to the four instrumental tracks on this album are provided by Gene Hamilton. Wikipedia’s entry “The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street” has additional details about the program.
All eight of these individual album tracks are also available for continuous sequential listening in a single 25-minute video posted under the title “1941 full album: NBC’s Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street II”
Star Dust (Parish-Carmichael) by Dinah Shore with Paul Laval and his Woodwindy Ten, transferred from Victor 27622, originally issued in Victor album P-86, recorded in NYC August 18, 1941
Other Victor albums featuring music from the CMSOLBS include:
P-56 NBC’s Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street (Dinah Shore, vocal)
P-82 Birth Of The Blues (Lena Horne, vocal)
P-119 Strictly From Dixie (Linda Keene, vocal)

Sonny Kendis and his Stork Club Orchestra – Star Dust(1941)
(instrumental)

recorded in NYC April 21, 1941
from the album “A Night At The Stork Club with Sonny Kendis”(1941) originally issued on 78rpm Columbia 36395
Hoagy Carmichael’s tune is taken at the most leisurely tempo among the tracks on this album. The three famous recordings of “Star Dust” by Shaw, Dorsey and Miller had all been issued within the previous year.
Track #1 of eight posted sides from the 1941 Columbia Records album set C-75 “A Night At The Stork Club,” dance arrangements of pre-1930 tunes conducted by Sonny Kendis, piano-playing leader of the small band at New York’s famed night spot The Stork Club. Though Kendis was given label credit on the original 78 discs, you’ll note that his name did not appear on the album’s cover or anywhere among the inside notes. It was prominently displayed, however, on Columbia’s later LP reissue…scans of which can be seen during the video. All eight of these individual album tracks are also available for continuous sequential listening in a single 21-minute video posted under the title “1941 full album: A Night At The Stork Club with Sonny Kendis.”

Glenn Miller and his Orchestra – Star Dust(1940)
recorded in NYC January 29, 1940

recorded in NYC March 10, 1937

Benny Goodman and his Orchestra – Stardust(1936)

Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra – Star Dust(1936 version)

recorded in NYC April 15, 1936
And here also is Dorsey’s better-remembered “Star Dust” recording from 1941, which featured vocals by Frank Sinatra and The Pied Pipers

Paul Whiteman and his Concert Orchestra – Star Dust(1934)
vocal: The Kingsmen and John Hauser

recorded in NYC December 14, 1934
The famous Hoagy Carmichael-Mitchell Parish tune is interestingly presented in Whiteman’s extended “concert style” arrangement of multiple tempo and key changes.

Louis Prima and his New Orleans Gang – Star Dust(1934)
vocal: Louis Prima

recorded in NYC September 27, 1934
I’m not in possession of the actual disc used for this years-old transfer and am unable to locate the appropriate Brunswick label image anywhere online. If you have a copy and would like to send a scan, that would be great!

Jimmie Lunceford and his Orchestra – Star Dust(1934)
vocal: Henry Wells

recorded in NYC September 5, 1934
Easygoing treatment of the standard was issued on the Decca flip of the entertainingly-popular Lunceford track “Rhythm Is Our Business”.

vocal: Louis Armstrong

recorded in Chicago November 4, 1931
For the flip side “Chinatown My Chinatown,”

(instrumental)

recorded in Chicago February 20, 1931
Later more-commonly-spelled “Stardust,”

Isham Jones’ Orchestra – Stardust(1931)
(instrumental)

recorded in Chicago May 14, 1930
The song’s composer Hoagy Carmichael had first recorded “Stardust” (aka “Star Dust”) back in 1927 as an instrumental, the Isham Jones orchestra put it on wax in the spring of 1930, and in the year 1931 the tune finally caught on in a big way. Among the various vocal and instrumental versions on the market that year, this Jones treatment is purported to have outsold the others.

Hoagy Carmichael & His Pals – Stardust(1927)

recorded in Richmond, Ind. October 31, 1927
1st Recording Of “Stardust”
One of the most-performed and recorded songs in American history, presented in its original form as a mid-tempo jazz instrumental (Mitchell Parish’s lyrics weren’t added until 1929). Carmichael would record the tune several more times over the years.

 宇宙のどこかにあるかもしれない知的文明が近々にも発見される!? 地球外の知的生命体が出す電波などの信号を探査する「SETI(地球外知的生命探査)」に、日本の天文台研究員が発起人となり、世界各国と合同で来月から取り組むことになった。
http://www.zakzak.co.jp/society/domestic/news/20101025/dms1010251635017-n1.htm

地球から電波を送るのは昔からやってましたよね。
とんでもない大敵に地球の存在が知れてしまう可能性だってあるのに、どうしてそんなことするんだろうと思ってました。
今回は電波を探して受けるほうですから、まだマシかも。
でも費用はどうすんのかなぁ。
