C&A:
The three takes of These Foolish Things
comparatively demonstrate how Charlie Christian developed his four-bar chord
introduction.
The second take breaks down before the guitar solo, but
juxtaposing the first (alternate) and third (master) takes fairly reveals the
evolution of CC’s eight-bar solo. The first six measures are Charles’
extreme reworking of the melody. The uncommon phrasing at bar 21
(fifth measure of the solo) is singularly unique and virtually identical in
both. The last two bars (different on both takes) are typical CC
phrases. |
