Ridiculously Garrett Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I did a cover of the jazz song Autumn Leaves originally written by Joseph Kosma and lyricists Johnny Mercer and Jacques Prevert in 1945 and released in 1946. Cover: Again not sure that I could really find the original but here's some renditions by Chet Baker, Paul Desmond, and another by Nat King Cole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severian Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I like your solo. Nice and slow. That Chet Baker version is really the best. With the incomparable Paul Desmond and Steve Gadd. Legends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridiculously Garrett Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 You can tell when I messed up because I sustained absolutely horridly, "Just gonna solo up a bi- WOOPS" *cue piercing sweep of keys* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first teacher always told me "if you can't play it slow, you can't play it fast". I think there are exceptions but this is usually the case. When I was in college we got to see professional musicians from all over. Lemme tell ya they ALL make mistakes. But If you can improv your way out with a sweep and keep rhythm you're doing okay.

Ridiculously Garrett Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Absolutely, messing up and still going is the true mark of a good musician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
