I have been going over this tune and while it is easy I just wondered if anyone plays it much. I heard it on my Howard Robert's record and thought I should add it to my list of tunes to memorize. One thing about these 32 bar tunes I find them easy to memorize. I really don't recall alot of recordings of this so what I thought I better check on how much it is played. -- Mark Cleary makes music on the finest guitars made.

Why? If you like it learn it. It is a great tune anyway and plays well on guitar. I don't think you should worry about whether a song is widely played as a prerequisite for learning the tune. That kind of mentality will just keep everyone playing the same tunes out of the same book. Learn as many tunes as you can, yes, so obviously that means learning the common standards, but also listen for good obscure tunes to learn and transcribe if necessary so that you can build your own book. This practice will not only enhance your own songbook, but if you play out/around then it will help broaden the repertoire of the local jazz scene.

I like that tune a lot. You can find out how often a song has been recorded at the ASCAP Clearance Express web site, at http://www.ascap.com:80/ace/ACE.html
"Gone With the Wind" as a title has been used for several different pieces, including the movie theme, but the one we know as a standard has been recorded by:

Also by Bob Longmire, but the cassette has yet to go platinum. Ella is listed twice here, I know one of them is with Joe Pass.
I've got a CD by bassist Harvie Swartz that has this tune on it. He recorded it with John Scofield in a duo setting, and it's cool. Sco's sound is much cleaner than normal. I can't access the liner notes due to water damage, but I remember that there was a picture of him playing an arch top with no cut-away.
Anyway, the CD is a collection of songs with various guitarists. Sco plays on Gone and Nardis. Other guitarists are Mike Stern, Mick Goodrick, Leni Stern and Gene Bertoncini.
The rhythm section consists of Winard Harper and Leon Parker.
Another Harvie Swartz record that is pretty cool is "Arrival". John Abercrombie and Mick Goodrick on guitars, and Marvin Smitty Smith on drums. Swartz seems to prefer to work with guitarists, so he's alright in my book.

Also, Kiri Te Kanawa (!!!!) is listed twice.
Marty Robbins?!?!
I'm amazed, but then I've always been easily amazed.
Another great version of this song is by B. Kessell on I think "Music to Listen to Barney Kessell By". Very simple tune here, but displays what a master Barney is in arranging songs. Very well done!! Bill
* there is also a version on Wes tribute album by; Farlow,Ellis,Campell,Raney........
