Hoagy Carmichael
November 23, 2007
 This
week on Afterglow we continue our recently-founded
annual tradition of playing the music of Hoagy Carmichael
on the Friday after Thanksgiving. (Hoagy was born November
22, 1899, so his birthday always falls close to the holiday.)
We’ll feature interpretations of Carmichael classics
from performers such as Art Blakey (with Freddie Hubbard
soloing on “Skylark”), Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller,
Sheila Jordan, Nat King Cole, Frank Morgan, Nina Simone,
and many others. In the second hour of the program we’ll
spotlight a rare 1939 radio broadcast from the Lyric Theater
in Indianapolis, with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and Hoagy
joined by a special guest—Hoagy’s piano-playing
mother LIda--for a blazing rendition of “Maple Leaf
Rag.” Other artists include Mark Murphy, the Four Freshmen,
and Bob Dorough.
For more about Hoagy Carmichael, visit the “Hoagy!”

Afterglow airs every Friday evening at 10:05 p.m.
EST on WFIU. Broadcasts are made available for listening
at any time the following week in the Afterglow
archives.
