Autumn Leaves
posted by Paul
Autumn Leaves is a piece of music about as mandatory to the jazz musician as Happy Birthday is at a birthday party. I was first introduced to the piece by a guitarist friend who now lives in London - and this photo reminded me of him.The particular autumn leaves in today's photo can be found just outside my study, attached to the grapevine that decorates our patio. Winter is in full swing in the southern hemisphere: it's cold, it's wet and it's certainly my least favourite season of the year.
The winter solstice is almost here... and then summer will be on its way. I can't wait.

I love autumn leaves. I have only ever heard Miles Davis and Chet Baker's interpretation of it, but I think they can be considered to be a fairly good indicator of how fantastic that piece of Jazz is.
Very relaxing photo. To give my age away it's the Nat King Cole version of Autumn Leaves that comes to my mind when I see a lovely photo like this..
Half way through your winter but that means half way through our summer and I'm afraid so far we've not had a very good one..rain and cold so I feel a trip to SA is called for once your summer times arrives!!
Very relaxing photo
and good blog!
