Star Dust   –   2 October 1939   –   WCO 26134 A
 

Guitar Solo

 



C
&A:

This is the Columbia Records master take.  Only one take was recorded – but it was not released as a single!  Finally, twelve years later, Columbia got around to releasing Star Dust on albums entitled “Benny Goodman Combos” in three formats:  on LP, on EP, and on a 45-rpm singles album.  I suppose this could be considered the “official” version – it’s been released (and transcribed) more often than any of the other versions.  Albeit, the Eddy Howard 4 Oct 1940 version with an 8-bar CC solo had been released two years earlier, in 1949, on a 10" LP.
