  • Great video!

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

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

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

  • 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...
