Stardust is one of the great Hoagy Carmichael tunes, and deserves a place in the library of every band. Bob Martin has done a truly excellent job of transcription and modification of this Ted Heath ve...

More 'Bluesey' than the Miller version, this arrangement from the Gene Krupa orchestra makes a refreshing addition to any library. The chart features some lovely Guitar and Alto solo cameos and a solo...
