This is my input for March. The backing track is a "realtracks" jazz piano Trio from BIAB. This version includes the verse and three choruses. I took a few liberties with the verse and the first chorus and the rest is improvised. As usual for me, I did this one by ear. I tried to stick to a ballad approach and the song was difficult for me to arrange. I have played it many times for my wife while she was still able to perform but not for the past 2 years. This song is one of our favorite ballads.

Still "living" with this tune, still loving it.
Really just needed to learn the words and sing it for me to internalize it, now it seems completely logical.
I also think, after listening to many versions, there's a lot of leeway in the melody. There's parts you gotta play right, and others that are very open to interpretation. Another reason this tune is so cool.

I'm listening to a lot of versions of this great tune, and really enjoying it.
Folks may be interested in the 1-hour radio biopic of Carmichael, including a lot of of material about Stardust. (That mostly starts around 18:00).

Just an FYI
Jim Campilongo has a Stardust chord melody lesson on his site. It is comprised of several audio files and a Ted Greene style chord grid. Though Jim's sheet(s) have his own unique nomenclature. He walks you through the chord melody chord by chord then the melody itself and finally some ideas for improvising over the changes. I bought the lesson before this thread and am enjoying it. Perhaps a little pricey though at $30.Last edited by alltunes; 04-04-2017 at 10:00 AM.

I've decided I want to get together some recordings, so I'll be participating in this fine institution. (I'm a little late to this one!)
No improv on this one, just a simple chord melody of the tune. Thanks all!

This song was deceptively tricky but I am glad I learned it

Hey M-ster, This one was definitely worth the wait. As usual, this is a beautiful version of a great old standard. Good groove, great tone, wonderful flowing lines, good choice of voicings and so nice to listen to. I had to listen to it several times to fully appreciate the sounds. BTW, I am also late with a version of "Willow".
