Great one, a classic! Thanks for reminding me of this one!I've always considered the difinitive version is that of Cannonball Adderley/Miles Davis from the "Somethin' Else," album.
Here's one I like a lot:
Stumbled across Ahmad Jamal's (then 87) wonderful latin style performance of a true jazz standard - Autumn Leaves. Just had to share it and didn't find a thread where it would really fit in, so created a new one. Curious to see your finds of Autumn Leaves covers.
Here's one I like a lot:
Reminds me of the only time I saw Ray Brown perform on stage, accompanied by just two youngsters (piano and drums) much less than half his age. It was a wonderful concert, not only seeing and hearing Ray Brown playing his bass, but also witnessing how he promoted his young sidemen to reach out and go for whatever they were able to give. An amazing talent as a bandleader and a mentor.A few years ago I saw him perform that tune at the Detroit Jazz Festival late one evening. It was one of the most memorable performances I've witnessed! The percussionist was awesome as well.
Let us not forget Iggy's take on Les Feuilles Mortes.
Turning a melancholic tune even more melancholic. Great voice, I consider buying that album.The "world and his wife" have recorded Autumn Leaves for decades.
Here's a more contemporary jazz version.
