Gone With The Wind
Mark Cleary
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.

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.

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.

I'm amazed, but then I've always been easily amazed.

I don't hear it much, but it is in Vol 1 of the NRB. Another great
recording is on The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery. If
you don't have this album, you need it. John Scofield plays it
on Harvie Swartz's "In a Different Light", as a guitar/bass duo.
Very nice. Sco is playing an old Gibson ES125 (or something similar)
with no distortion. He sounds like a JJG guitarist, almost.

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!!

* there is also a version on Wes tribute album by;
Farlow,Ellis,Campell,Raney........

Scofield does a great cover of this tune somewhere in my cd collection.
Can anyone recall what this is on?

Yes. I forgot that this is where the Sco interpretation of GWTW is
located. Great version. As Rod points out, this is a great cd for
guitar features.
BTW, Schwartz is also the bass player, I believe, on the excellent Pat
Martino video "Live at Ethel's". Check that one out too if you can.
