"Joshua Kyle is the vocalist I have been waiting for. In a world hungry for male jazz singers Josh delivers in spades. Talented beyond his years a remarkable career is about to unfold. " Claire Martin Jazz Singer and BBC Radio 3 'Jazz Line Up' Presenter "I'm truly amazed at the abilities of this 23-year-old. I'd still be amazed if he were twice his age, with years of experience behind him." Harold Sanditen - (Cabaret Scenes) March 2010 " JOSH KYLE HAS ARRIVED ON A SCENE WHERE THE MALE JAZZ SINGER IS A RARE BEAST. A DIRECT LINK FROM KURT ELLING, JON HENDRICKS, MARK MURPHY AND BETTY CARTER, HE HAS THE FEARLESS IMPROVISING GENE, KNOWS HIS BE BOP, SWINGS LIKE A MOTHER WITH LASER TIMING AND, UNLIKE ALL THE YOUNG SINATRA WANNABEES, DOESN'T NEED A SUIT OR SWAGGER TO MAKE GREAT MUSIC." IAN SHAW JAZZ SINGER "Stardust" is an American popular song composed in 1927 by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics added in 1929 by Mitchell Parish. Originally titled "Star Dust", Carmichael first recorded the song at the Gennett Records studio in Richmond, Indiana. The song, "a song about a song about love", played in an idiosyncratic melody in medium tempo, became an American standard, and is considered one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, with over 1,500 total recordings.In 2004, Carmichael's original 1927 recording of the song was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry. According to Carmichael, the inspiration for "Stardust" (the song's original title was "Star Dust", which has long been compounded into "Stardust")came to him while he was on the campus of his alma mater, Indiana University, in Bloomington, Indiana. He began whistling the tune then rushed to the Book Nook, a popular student hangout, and started composing. He worked to refine the melody over the course of the next several months, likely in Bloomington or Indianapolis (sources cite various locations, and Carmichael himself liked to embellish the facts about the song's origins). "Stardust" was first recorded in Richmond, Indiana, for Gennett Records (Gennett 6311) by Carmichael, with Emil Seidel and his Orchestra and the Dorsey brothers as "Hoagy Carmichael and His Pals," on October 31, 1927, as a peppy (but mid-tempo) jazz instrumental. Carmichael said he was inspired by the types of improvisations made by Bix Beiderbecke. The tune at first attracted only moderate attention, mostly from fellow musicians, a few of whom (including Don Redman) recorded their own versions of Carmichael's tune. Mitchell Parish wrote lyrics for the song, based on his own and Carmichael's ideas, which were published in 1929. A slower version had been recorded in October 1928, but the real transformation came on May 16, 1930, when bandleader Isham Jones recorded it as a sentimental ballad.
