[davekinci]

Great video!

What's the song in the beginning and at the end?

[JazzVideoGuy]

@davekinci He's playing on the chord changes to Autumn Leaves?

[davekinci]

@JazzVideoGuy yeah sounds like it, i'm going to transcribe those lines :)

[JazzVideoGuy]

@davekinci Jimmy calls his composition, based on these changes "Sleeves."

[JazzClubOverSeas]

We all love Jimmy Heath, he is HIP as always and his comment on lyrics and music has great insight! I am going to translate his words into Japanese and let them know about this video!

Thanks Jazz Video Guy

you really learn how to appreciate how lyrics really make those ballads so emotive after you work with vocalists on those tunes. And if you play a chordal instrument, there's no better way to learn how to truly 'comp until you play with a vocalist. And if you play guitar, well, there's no excuse...
