A seasonal perennial for you: "Autumn Leaves," performed by Stan Getz, plus a guitar, brushes, and a high-hat. This tune has been performed live more than once at the RubberCrutch party sanctuary on New Year's Eve, featuring Big Rock Head and others. The YouTube poster didn't provide any record or session information, and I have no way to venture a credible guess. Anyway, this one's just to listen to. If you like, compare with the inexplicably upbeat versions on YouTube by the great Bill Evans or Chet Baker and Paul Desmond. I think most would agree that this composition is intended to be played slower and quieter, in a pensive mode, like autumn... and like Getz does here.Autumn Leaves, Stan Getz (date and performance information not known), via YouTube, embedded for noncommercial critical discussion and educational purposes.
