Stardust

0 upcoming performances in New York

Written in 1927 by Hoagy Carmichael and later given lyrics by Mitchell Parish, “Stardust” became a modern standard, moving easily between instrumental jazz and vocal pop and accumulating a vast recording history. Its origin is intimate: a melody shaped in the wake of a romance, refined into a song about memory and longing. In New York, where Tin Pan Alley publishing and nightclub bandstands helped define the American Songbook, “Stardust” reads like a bridge between jazz improvisation and mass circulation. At 92NY on December 21, 2025, the title frames a multi-artist tribute to David Bowie, placing his repertoire in the same long, adaptable lineage.
