Four Beat Sounds FBMD 830528/9 includes a version of "Gone, Gone, Gone" but it's a Gil Evans big band arrangement that clearly doesn't include Davis. Personnel includes Lew Soloff and Miles Evans (tpt), Tom Malone (tb), Chris Hunter (as), George Adams (ts), Gil Evans (keyb), Pete Levin (synth), Hiram Bullock (g), Mark Egan (el-b), Billy Cobham (d). I'm not sure of the date.
