Composed by: |
Eric Maschwitz (aka Holt Marvell) - Jack Strachey |
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. |
