Best version of Stardust, in my esteemed opinion. Only Louis could blow his horn and then add his voice seamlessly. I used to have this album and regret selling it when I converted to CD's.

Louis Armstrong uses Hoagy Carmichael's brilliant standard as a base, strips it bare, adds his genius trumpet, his melodic voice and creates a piece that transcends the original. Truly beautiful.
The best version of Stardust there ever has been !!! Alternate take in Woody Allen's 'Stardust Memories' IS sublime. Watch Charlotte Rampling read the Sunday paper to that one!
Shaw's version is okay. A bit syrupy and over lush for me. This version is rhythmically and harmonically superior. This is jazz. Shaw's is the pop music of the time. Louie's singing and playing however is magic. He was the originator who taught the world how to sing, how to play, and what it means to have class doing both.
This IS one of my favorite versions of this song. I, also, first heard it in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories, when I was first discovering there was something greater than the mainstream. Just for fun, mind you, check out Ringo Starr's version, complete with drum solo!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful... Oh how much fun it would have been to dance your troubles away, even for just a little while, to this wonderful music.
I can hear the roots of bop, and Diz in his playing....but he originated it...just amazing..the rhythmic subtley he employs is just beyond anything done at the time..
Satchmo was a great musician. But as to recordings of Hoagy's "Stardust," IMHO no one can compared to Artie Shaw's classic recording in the mid-1940s. I danced to this record so many times at the Blue Room of the YWCA (in Charlotte NC), that Artie's solo (about 2/3 of the way through the recording) is burned forever into my brain.
@Dick7809 Never heard Artie Shaw OR his version. (checking it out now). I just wanted to hear this again after watching "Stardust Memories" (1980) (great film BTW, if you like Woody Allen(I do!). After hearing it, I like Louie's version better. While I do like Benny Goodman & Glenn Miller, I am really just not that into clarinet solos (personal preference), & least not in this song. I prefer it with a trumpet solo. Artie Shaw sounds interesting though. Thx for mentioning him.
@gjc82071 - you should also listen to Ben Webster's version (w/Duke Ellington). Django does a nice version as well. Artie Shaw did Stardust several times; one version is quite up tempo and great for dancing to.
@aarfeld Sometimes I think that's the beauty of this version, the simplicity of it, that is. Makes the lyrics seem that much more innocent and meaningful.
Utterly amazing... When he riffs out singing "oh memory, oh, memory, oh memory" he captures something about the spirit of the song and the human spirit... Oh Louis!
Interesting, I just noticed (after decades of listening to this masterpiece) that when Louis starts singing at 1:16 he stays pretty much on the same note until 1:20, 1:21. Where else do we hear this? On another masterpiece, "Muggles" when he begins his superb horn solo. In most other musicians this soon sounds boring, but we know with Louis that great things will follow. He never ceases to amaze. As Robert Frost said of a good poem, "It begins in delight and ends in wisdom."
Let me try again: He's more than a master musician and genius. Really a hero. So much love and beauty growing up in the time of "Strange Fruit" Heavens breath coming out of that horn.....:) like a locomotive working its way up a mountain.
Thanks so much for this gem ... like others I'm struggling for words to describe the magic of Louis's music. He makes it sound so effortless--amazing ....
My dad was visiting from Houston, Texas he was enjoying my collection of Latin salsa and Swing Music smoking a Brisket this came on and he lite up like a he was young again, he is 84 was in heaven I have this version best I have ever heard, for pure soul I won’t name the good versions but this displays ole Pops in all his glory – Nobody yet to be his equal on that horn, try and listen to his “I’m in the Mood” another great, he toured all his life “The Ambassador of Good Will”
this song reminds me of long time gone by when everything is just doing fine...no problems like we have today all we do is set by the porch and listen to the crackling radio from a far far place.....
@IndependentGeorge76 It is simply remarkable isn't it? Apparently Louis and Earl Hines agreed with each other one day shortly after sales for the Hot Five & Seven recordings took off, that they had not anticipated sales going as well as they did. I wish I could remember the source for this story, but it is in one of my Louis books.
Seven people in this world somehow missed the "like" button and accidentally hit the "dislike" button. I mean, who doesn't agree that he's amazing. My friends listen to rock, and hip hop, I listen to this, he's just amazing.
Sometimes the qualudes kick in at the wrong time. They probably didn't even see the "LIKE" button. Ludes can be unpredictable, especially when mixed with tequilla. That's why I'm cutting back on 'em.
Then there was the Fatherless Waif.The single most important music creator of all the generations the begining of movement.Thankyou whoever for Louis Armstrong the complete music maestro.
I wonder what the lock-in late night jams with beiderbecke and armstrong sounded like (they couldn't play in public during bix's short life for racist reasons)
@deltaofwar If the fine art of music does have "gods" (small g: there is of course only one "capital g God"...), then surely Louis Armstrong is one of them. He was as creative, vibrant and influential in the 20th century, as Beethoven was in the 19th, or Bach and Mozart were in the 18th centuries.
listening to this makes me lose faith in our music industry, look where it has gone, we aren't progressing we are digressing, maybe genius will return someday.
I used to listen to this when my little boy couldn't sleep. I'd turn the pc on and play the best tunes of the great man from the 30s and 40s. Cradling my little boy in my arms and listening to Pops. Joy.
@enakrium It is said that Hoagy Carmichael - composer (with lyrics by Mitchell Parish) of this, the most-played of all jazz tunes ("Take Five" being the most-requested) - searched for years to find a 78 with this three-repeat of "oh memory", preferred over the version in which Louis sings it twice. (source: p. 26, notes (Dan Morgenstern or Loren Schoenberg) describing this alternate take in the superb booklet accompanying the 4-CD set, "Portrait of The Artist As a Young Man".
@Urbino237 I think my favourite version is the one that I heard on Woody Allens "radio days"... He says it just the one but he sings it real fluid and plays astonishingly.
I love Nat King Cole's version, but my personal favorite is Keely Smith's. I dunno why, but hers just seems the most passionate, even though I am more a fan of Nat and Louis. Honestly though, between her, Nat, and Louis, it is pretty close.
Just as a bit of trivia, according to the Wikipedia article about Woody Allen's film "Stardust Memories," its title "[...] alludes to the famous alternate take of 'Stardust' recorded in 1931 by Armstrong, wherein the trumpeter sings "oh, memory" three times in succession." In the present clip, this can be heard at about 2:15 through 2:21.
I would like to thank djmane1 for putting this up. It's an amazing song. I really enjoy music from the 20's. Their music is inspirational to many, and especially during the harder times. Their music really helped out people and gave them hope. Well into the 40's the music hadn't changed much, and people could still have hope thanks to these amazing artists. Even today, if I played one of these songs to someone who was upset, it would be an instant switch to a better mood. Long live the legends.
Looking in Jazz Records by Brian Rust this is not 1929, but the November 4, 1931 recording. Oddly, there were at least four takes and three of them were issued. A wonderful thing it is. I hope many young people are discovering the greatness of Louis Armstrong. Posting this sure helps.
It doesn't matter the version, it's the best song ever written! I do really enjoy it and i fall in love again every time I listen it. I really thank my father for sharing to me his taste for jazz and big band music.
Can anybody please tell me if this is the 1931 recording (or one of the later in the 40s done recordings)? It said to be one of his best after the period between 1927-1929...
No music tune can be compared to this version of the best song ever written, No musician can match his soulful way to play or sing. I listened to this tune maybe 1000 times and still makes me cry for the emotion. I am italian but thanks to Him I always felt as I was born in New Orleans, for how much I think to feel his music.
If anyone asks you for an example of genius, play 'em this. We will never see his like again. My children, now adults, call me Pops (I'm a guitarist, do a lot of blues), but I'm not worthy to touch one of Louis' sweat stained handkerchiefs. What a man.
@slownoman I agree with you on this one. I came here just to take the stress off of the day before going to bed. He has done several songs that I like and a lot of solos that I love, but this is my fav Louis song ever.
@gotstrongdotcom Music can be magic, and Louis held the wand as well as anyone who ever drew breath. He exuded joy, even in mournful songs like "Black and Blue". I must admit, even though my mom was a big band singer and I grew up listening to a lot of jazz, I never knew the titan Louis was until the Ken Burns series. I was floored. I just knew the Stachmo from fifties and sixties variety shows, and the old movie High Society. What he does with this song is transcendent. Hail, Pops.
This is just gorgeous! Just about everything he ever did moves me to the very depths of my soul.
Another terrific version of this great song is the one used on the TV Series, "Charmed". Anyone have any idea where to find a video or a recording of that verison. It is very beautiful and I would love to have it.
Music like this reminds me of my great-grandparents, who are now gone. I miss them so much!!! It must have been so amazing to live during this time period (for the music I mean). This is a beautiful song, and as a result, it will never lose it's fervor...
my mom told me about satchmosince i was 10 Im now 64!! we had a plAceIN the heart of our home for for this great man's panache and love of musici MISS him.
My father recently told me that I was gaining an appreciation of Louis rather late in life;his own had begun when he was 10!Our next will go like this:I'll remind him,then ask if he put Louis on the record player the day I came home from the hospital!The lucky stiff got to spend an hour with Jack Teagarden when he was 12 before a show;the All-Stars then played an all request first set by he and my Grandmother!Through his music,and all of us,LOUIS LIVES!!Keep spreading the love!!!!!!
this is really a refreshing version of stardust! i by myself prefer the "lyrical" verison, because the power of the song itself is stronger, here in this version the "musicmaker" are of bigger importance
the beauty of music is like gold! It becomes more precious as times goes by. I have never heard this version, and it does make me wonder how powerful music can be if you put in love and talent. Sachmo, does a spectacle with this song! Splendid, in every way! something which i cannot deny. God Bless!
So glad I found this.Takes me straight back to 1958 in Singapore back street bar(Ritz) when I was finding out about "life"...now it nearly brings tears to my eyes thinking of those carefree days of a 16 year old in the East.memories do last!!
I don't think musicians of the day would have liked the whole 'speeding up' idea.If a player couldn't cut it in a certain key,at a certain tempo...there was probably somebody else around who could!"Sorry,Louis,I just can't play in D flat!(or F sharp or any other key)"...I just don't see that happening.These people were the cream of the crop.If I am wrong I would love to know!Realize different keys favor different instruments-the Beatles play 'Hey Jude' in F(better 4 piano);I play it in E(guitar)
I'm very curious about the 'speeding up' mentioned here.That seems to me darn near impossible with the primitive analog tech of the day.Remember,these musicians did not do overdubs.They typically used one mike and everybody huddled around it.If you made a mistake in a session like this with musicians of this caliber...well,you just didn't!It could literally end your career if word of that got around in those days.A player with as great an ear as Louis would know from hearing 1 note it was off!
I might have already commented on this tune, but I have to say that piece lifts my soul when I feel blue.
I came across this on some random album I bought when I thought I should get into jazz and thought maybe it has What a Wonderful World on it (yep didn't look at the back of the case).
It didn't and in fact was a collection of his 30s and 40s work. I loved it after giving it a week. Then lost it when I sold my car....it was in the glove box. Enjoy it new owner...enjoy ;(
One of my favorite recordings of Pops and my favorite recording of Stardust!

I used to listen to this when my little boy couldn't sleep. I'd turn the pc on and play the best tunes of the great man from the 30s and 40s. Cradling my little boy in my arms and listening to Pops. Joy.

"oh memory..oh memory...oh memory"

@enakrium It is said that Hoagy Carmichael - composer (with lyrics by Mitchell Parish) of this, the most-played of all jazz tunes ("Take Five" being the most-requested) - searched for years to find a 78 with this three-repeat of "oh memory", preferred over the version in which Louis sings it twice. (source: p. 26, notes (Dan Morgenstern or Loren Schoenberg) describing this alternate take in the superb booklet accompanying the 4-CD set, "Portrait of The Artist As a Young Man".

@Urbino237 I think my favourite version is the one that I heard on Woody Allens "radio days"... He says it just the one but he sings it real fluid and plays astonishingly.

I love Louis for most of his work - but the best version? Then hear Nat King Cole's...

@neon854
I love Nat King Cole's version, but my personal favorite is Keely Smith's. I dunno why, but hers just seems the most passionate, even though I am more a fan of Nat and Louis. Honestly though, between her, Nat, and Louis, it is pretty close.

Played as it should be - with a chugging beat. Also Well worth a listen is Lionel Hampton's 1947 version - perhaps the greatest

Just as a bit of trivia, according to the Wikipedia article about Woody Allen's film "Stardust Memories," its title "[...] alludes to the famous alternate take of 'Stardust' recorded in 1931 by Armstrong, wherein the trumpeter sings "oh, memory" three times in succession." In the present clip, this can be heard at about 2:15 through 2:21.

I would like to thank djmane1 for putting this up. It's an amazing song. I really enjoy music from the 20's. Their music is inspirational to many, and especially during the harder times. Their music really helped out people and gave them hope. Well into the 40's the music hadn't changed much, and people could still have hope thanks to these amazing artists. Even today, if I played one of these songs to someone who was upset, it would be an instant switch to a better mood. Long live the legends.

Looking in Jazz Records by Brian Rust this is not 1929, but the November 4, 1931 recording. Oddly, there were at least four takes and three of them were issued. A wonderful thing it is. I hope many young people are discovering the greatness of Louis Armstrong. Posting this sure helps.

It doesn't matter the version, it's the best song ever written! I do really enjoy it and i fall in love again every time I listen it. I really thank my father for sharing to me his taste for jazz and big band music.

Can anybody please tell me if this is the 1931 recording (or one of the later in the 40s done recordings)? It said to be one of his best after the period between 1927-1929...
Anyway I like this one a lot!

No music tune can be compared to this version of the best song ever written, No musician can match his soulful way to play or sing. I listened to this tune maybe 1000 times and still makes me cry for the emotion. I am italian but thanks to Him I always felt as I was born in New Orleans, for how much I think to feel his music.

If anyone asks you for an example of genius, play 'em this. We will never see his like again. My children, now adults, call me Pops (I'm a guitarist, do a lot of blues), but I'm not worthy to touch one of Louis' sweat stained handkerchiefs. What a man.
slownoman 2 years ago 60
@slownoman I agree with you on this one. I came here just to take the stress off of the day before going to bed. He has done several songs that I like and a lot of solos that I love, but this is my fav Louis song ever.
gotstrongdotcom 1 year ago
@gotstrongdotcom Music can be magic, and Louis held the wand as well as anyone who ever drew breath. He exuded joy, even in mournful songs like "Black and Blue". I must admit, even though my mom was a big band singer and I grew up listening to a lot of jazz, I never knew the titan Louis was until the Ken Burns series. I was floored. I just knew the Stachmo from fifties and sixties variety shows, and the old movie High Society. What he does with this song is transcendent. Hail, Pops.
slownoman 1 year ago
This is just gorgeous! Just about everything he ever did moves me to the very depths of my soul.
Another terrific version of this great song is the one used on the TV Series, "Charmed". Anyone have any idea where to find a video or a recording of that verison. It is very beautiful and I would love to have it.

Music like this reminds me of my great-grandparents, who are now gone. I miss them so much!!! It must have been so amazing to live during this time period (for the music I mean). This is a beautiful song, and as a result, it will never lose it's fervor...

My father recently told me that I was gaining an appreciation of Louis rather late in life;his own had begun when he was 10!Our next will go like this:I'll remind him,then ask if he put Louis on the record player the day I came home from the hospital!The lucky stiff got to spend an hour with Jack Teagarden when he was 12 before a show;the All-Stars then played an all request first set by he and my Grandmother!Through his music,and all of us,LOUIS LIVES!!Keep spreading the love!!!!!!

this is really a refreshing version of stardust! i by myself prefer the "lyrical" verison, because the power of the song itself is stronger, here in this version the "musicmaker" are of bigger importance

the beauty of music is like gold! It becomes more precious as times goes by. I have never heard this version, and it does make me wonder how powerful music can be if you put in love and talent. Sachmo, does a spectacle with this song! Splendid, in every way! something which i cannot deny. God Bless!

I don't think musicians of the day would have liked the whole 'speeding up' idea.If a player couldn't cut it in a certain key,at a certain tempo...there was probably somebody else around who could!"Sorry,Louis,I just can't play in D flat!(or F sharp or any other key)"...I just don't see that happening.These people were the cream of the crop.If I am wrong I would love to know!Realize different keys favor different instruments-the Beatles play 'Hey Jude' in F(better 4 piano);I play it in E(guitar)

This song is not sped-up. When orginally written it had a faster tempo, and evolved into s slower song.

odysseetheater 2 years ago
I'm very curious about the 'speeding up' mentioned here.That seems to me darn near impossible with the primitive analog tech of the day.Remember,these musicians did not do overdubs.They typically used one mike and everybody huddled around it.If you made a mistake in a session like this with musicians of this caliber...well,you just didn't!It could literally end your career if word of that got around in those days.A player with as great an ear as Louis would know from hearing 1 note it was off!

I might have already commented on this tune, but I have to say that piece lifts my soul when I feel blue.
I came across this on some random album I bought when I thought I should get into jazz and thought maybe it has What a Wonderful World on it (yep didn't look at the back of the case).
It didn't and in fact was a collection of his 30s and 40s work. I loved it after giving it a week. Then lost it when I sold my car....it was in the glove box. Enjoy it new owner...enjoy ;(
