Autumn Leaves

Here's my rendition of an old Jazz standard I've always loved. 
 
Autumn Leaves

Hey bayoubill. That was a nice listen! Not familiar with the original, but I really liked this. Thanks for putting it up!   jim

Nice musicianship!

Hi Bill, you're right about the tempo. Fun tune to jam over, never played it before. Found a backingtrack in Gm , bit easier to play on a classical guitar.

This is a great tune for improvising because it has ii V I in Major and minor ( Cm7-F7/BbMaj7-EbMaj7/Am7b5-D7alt to Gm) and you can sub scales and arps easily.

I put me in the zone Bill..wonderful playing.

You know me Wookiee I just push record and don't try to really fix anything. I am a kid in a candy store with all the goodies. I love the uprights in Dimension Pro and forgot to quanitize. My biggest problem is not going back to polishing up a song. I have Z3ta 2.1 now so I couldn't get finished with Autumn Leaves fast enough. THIS TIME I saved the file for further editing, which I have never done before, so I can fix it up later. I was feeling guilty about not recording anything for so long so I had Autumn Leaves on my to do list. I'll come back to this one. I like the changes in it. Thanks for listening!!
 

Thanks Tim! That song does it for me too. I listened to the Miles version and it floored me with the rides in it. Thanks for listening!!
 
Tony - Thanks for the comment. I was playing around with Dan Haerle's Piano voicings book and had to use it on this tune. I started to use to old Wurley sound but after Lounge Lizard I had to go with that. Thanks again!

I've always liked this song, and this version is very tasty.  It has a laid back appeal that's often easier said than done.  Very nice job, Bill.

Thank you Lynn! It's easier to run tripets or 16ths at fast tempos but to lay back and use the beat is a life long endeavor. It's all about the feel IMHO
 
Stevec I heard it in my car speakers at 3:04. I couldn't hear that on my PC speakers or head phones. Thanks for the comments!!
 
I listened to it on my car stereo and I can hear that the bass is too forward as Wookie mentioned. While playing with the EQ I forgot to put it back where I had it. It sounds fine on my 2 speaker Bose set up and on the head phones I have. I should have put it to the trio test of Boombox, car, and laptop before posting it. You'd think by now I would have learned to do that  
just goes to show you why intellagance is my middle name

Wow thanks Warren! I have a love for all the old standards. I used to watch the TV Specials in black and white with Miles and his band plus the Jazz bands. I was around 5 and 6 years old. My sister told me I'd get right in front of the TV every time a guitar player was on. I still do 

That sounded real cool and relaxing. I think I have the Lounge Lizard arpeggiator in my Motif. Loved the guitar work!

I really need to mix this down. I didn't spend any real time with any of it. I'll post a remix for help and input. Thanks everyone for taking the time to listen
 

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Props.

that was pretty chill , a nice and laid back version. nice guitar sound . you kept it in the tonality .
I listened to your other version first and it was a little too wet sounding to me 
I like this version better ,  I'm more of a traditionalist and I happen to play this song 
take this for what it's worth 
I think if you can find a middle ground between both mixes you would be golden
