C&A:
A slow song with no solos by Charlie Christian, but he can be heard in
single-string improvisation along with the ensemble on the intro and, on four
of the takes, on the coda. Six takes of
One Hour Mama
have been released from this Vocalion Records early session recorded during Hallows’ Eve.
mx 25511-W (complete take)
This take is complete but shorter than the others due to its not having the coda.
mx 25511-b (breakdown)
This short partial take breaks down after 18¼ bars, therefore, Charles can be heard on the intro only. It was
unreleased until 2016.
mx 25511-X (complete take)
Four-bar intro by the ensemble including Charlie Christian; 64-bar vocal;
and four-bar tag by Charles with the ensemble.
mx 25511-y (breakdown)
This very short partial take begins breaking down halfway into the
introduction and is halted just as the singer utters her first words; ergo, intro only
– no vocal, no coda.
mx 25511-Z (complete take)
The routine on this take is the same as 25511-X.
mx 25511-1 (“master” take)
This complete take was not released until 2016. The routine on this take is the same as 25511-X.
