Star Dust 15 January 1940 Scandinavia broadcast
Guitar Solo
|
C&A:
The last time that Charlie Christian recorded Star Dust with the sextet was
on this radio transmission to Scandinavia, a broadcast that
was commercially unavailable until its release on compact disc 67 years
later.
As in the past, Charles’ featured solo here stayed basically the same as on
the other sextet versions. One detail that
was always interesting in his configuration of the song was the last three
bars. Charles invariably provided a singular blues-drenched finale to his
solo.
There would remain only one more rendition of Star Dust to be recorded with a CC solo – eight
bars on a Columbia recording backing a singer nine months later.
