The Stardust Road- Signed 1st Edition Hoagy Carmichael 1946, Rinehart and Company 1st Edition An autobiography in which the man is submerged in the pace of his time, the jazz era, but emerges as sane, stable and humble, despite his genius for low-down blues. By association, jazz means speakeasies, crib houses, opium joints, hopped-up youth, etc., but Carmichael shows us here another, and perhaps truer, segment of the era, the intelligentsia of jazz. This is the story of his struggle between music and law at the University of Indiana and his circle of friends which included a surrealist writer, musicians who could read music, composers who found inspiration in Ravel and Debussy and in the bayou country as well. Here are Louis Armstrong, Wad Allen, Hostetter, Johnson, the Williams brothers, and Bix Beiderbecke.
