[Interview with Hoagy Carmichael] [sound recording]. [1965?]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/74495027

This tape is an interview with Hoagy Carmichael by two unidentified interviewers. It probably takes place in Carmichael's home, since he serves cocktails during the interview. The conversation centers on Bix Beiderbecke and his style of playing the cornet. Hoagy provides short narrative introductions to various pieces Bix recorded, possibly for a compilation of Beiderbecke's music, though this was never mentioned per se.

1 sound tape reel (16 min.) : analog, 7 1/2 ips, full track, mono. ; 5 in.
