An Occasional Series
Jenney is famous for eight-bars of trombone improvisation on Artie Shaw’s 1940 recording of “Stardust.” Several months earlier with his own band, he played a full-length solo on this little-known version of Hoagy Carmichael’s classic song.
Thank you for remembering one of my musical heroes, Jack Jenney, and his remarkable achievement on Stardust. (And don’t forget the alternate take of Stardust — that’s amazing too!)
