Emil Seidel & His Orchestra - Together We Two, Gennett 1927
NOTE: Emil SEIDEL - pianist and bandleader in 1920s Indianapolis. He came from a family of musicians and music-store owners. Emil started as a child pianist in the Lyric Theater, and in the early 1920s he went to New York City, where he made piano rolls and played in orchestra pit bands. Upon his return to Indianapolis, and by 1925 he was leading his own group he honed into one of the citys finest bands. In 1927, he was approached by Hoagy Carmichael, who had a new composition he wanted to record. The composition was Stardust.
Stardust was recorded for the first time by the Emil Seidel Orchestra at the Gennett Recording Studio on Oct. 31, 1927 iin original uptempo version, that as the music historian Rick Keneddy wrote would have benefited greatly from a little more rehearsal, more formally arranged scores, and perhaps, some rest before making the 70-mile drive to Richmond One saving grace is Carmichaels meandering, but beautiful, piano solo. Stardust did not become a hit until it was recorded by Don Redman and Isham Jones two years later. Seidels orchestra recorded a dozen more songs through early 1928 at Gennett; later that year, he went back to New York, where he became renowned as a radio accompanist.
