Transcription
Gone With What Draft – 24 February 1941
“What’s New?–The Old Gold Show”
|
|
C&A:
Apparently Basie was again available for this one session so the
penultimate-bridge solo was back with the pianist. Other than the variation
in the penultimate bridge the performance routine has remained the same up
to now – on this version of Gone with What Draft there is a very
slight change on the last two bars.
For awhile after the November 1940 re-forming of the band there was quite a
bit of a revolving piano chair in the group. Goodman had planned on having
Teddy Wilson at piano but as it turned out he wasn’t available on a regular
basis. Johnny Guarnieri had joined Artie Shaw’s band just prior to the
Goodman band’s long summer 1940 hiatus. He had been used by Goodman
occasionally since that time but was not a regular until he rejoined in
March of 1941

Claude Carrière
in “Charlie Christian • Volume 7 •
1941” Masters of Jazz MJCD 74:
… better than the earlier version, thanks mainly to the presence
of guest pianist Count Basie, magnificently present from
beginning to end. |
This was the last time the sextet would record Gone with What Draft.
