Autumn Leaves

A beautiful French song with English words by Johnny Mercer. Haven't done a video in more than a year, running a farm and now should have a little time. I created the backing in BIAB and made some variations on the harmony to try to get a warmer, bluesy, feel.

I am supposed to learn this one for our band. You did a beautiful job with it my friend! Loving the jazzy notes!! Big Thumbs Up

@Cameragirl803 Thank you, Jane. I transposed this into Gm(Bb) so that I could use it in a trio and any Bb sax player would be in his key of C. The C instrument keys most compatible with a sax are Bb(Gm), Eb(Cm), Ab(Fm), and F(Dm). Unfortunately, R&R guitar players like D,E,A, F, and C. R&R Sax players have to learn to work in these keys. I suppose the key of F is most compatible for all.
