Hey, Gate -- here are the recordings and videos listed at the end of each chapter!• Georgia on My Mind, Hoagy Carmichael, 1930 (This is a fairly straight vocal sung by the composer. Near the end of the record you'll hear Louis's friend, the great Jack Teagarden on trombone. The other great cornetist of the Jazz Age, Bix Beiderbecke, performs an understated, almost wistful solo to conclude the piece, his career, and his short life. It was his second-to-last recording.)
