Autumn Leaves Jazz

How many here play this classic song?......
there are so many versions of it... @1:03 when the drums kick in simple as it is sound so live..

Listen to this blind, left-handed, unconventional country boy, guitar player play some Jazz Guitar.

Start listening at 20 seconds.

Yeah, that's Rory. Nobody else like him.

Don, If only Rory, Dexter Gordon, Oscar Peterson, Billy Higgins and Ray Brown could jam together, I'd sell my house to buy a ticket.

Rory is always amazing for sure....

Since not many like to post anything of their own on SZ here is a short quick Autumn Leaves demo track I recorded the vocals today,..
the music backing track I edited a few years ago adding my own influences & styling to it nothing fancy..enjoy.

Anytime I play a restaurant or cocktail reception, etc. this song is part of my playlist ... I usually do it as a Latin and then go to a swing tempo ... sometimes I'll even throw in a vocal ...
Unfortunately, I don't ad lib the way these folks do ...




That's a real nice job, Donny ... thanks for posting it ...

Thanx T for the listen....appreciate it.

Donnie, here's my 2¢

, hey boo that was great I really enjoyed that... I still listen to your songs you sent me years ago always a pleasure... keep them coming... nice to see people sharing music on SZ thank you again...

boo ... that's worth at LEAST a buck ...
Seriously, I really liked that ... thanks ... sounds like a Dr. John tune ... tried to find the chords and lyrics on line, but no luck ...

I should probably 'BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH', but I decided I would post this anyway ... there isn't a Marcus Brutus on THIS forum is there?
recorded on the Pa900 using the 'Organ Blues' style ...

Tony, sorry about that, it's Ray Charles. I tried to find it for you on YouTube. It's on an old 33 album I have had since 1870 or so. It's with this tune check it out.

Donny and Sparky, thank you ...

Donny, I was expecting you to be doing this one. Damned!

Here's my rendition: Autumn Leaves

Gary

Gary very enjoyable version & do I detect your vocals are getting stronger also?.. nice job thanx for sharing!!

Not getting stronger, Donny - I recorded that about two years ago.

All the best,

Gary

Sorry thought it was recent get well buddy..

Unfortunately, Donny, with asbestosis induced Pulmonary Fibrosis you don't get well - just worse. There is no cure, no magic drug, and beyond age 70, under our current health guidelines, no lung transplant. Therefore, it's just drugs and booze until I take the dirt nap.

All the best,

Gary

Are you on Pirfenidon? My mother was diagnosed with non-idiopathic lung fribrosis first, that's why I informed myself about this new drug. Luckily, her type can be treated and controlled effectively by Cortison.

Crossover, unfortunately, pulmonary fibrosis induced by asbestosis does not respond this type of treatment. The drug you are referring to is primarily for the treatment of non-idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which is usually the result of chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, and other infectious processes. This can be controlled with steroids such as Prednisone and other similar drugs that keep the inflammation down, but have some nasty side effects, such as lowering the immune system by a significant degree. Unfortunately, this was the field of medicine I specialized in for many, many years and I am keenly aware of the outcome.

Thanks for your concerns,

Gary

I hope you are doing better, Gary, I called you a couple weeks ago, hope you got the message. Long time, no talk, lol! Good job on this song, a classic.

Cool thread, Donny.

Bill, I'll give you a call tomorrow.
