Initially I swallowed the bait in the topic "Band in a Box - Challenge 1" posted in the BIAB Forum and thought I might as well try my luck with the Song "Autumn Leaves". As usual, it became something quite different, a short instrumental which I now call "Spring Leaves" (!) - unfortunately not really suitable as backing track for the original song

Hi Daniel,
Good job with the RTs. Sounds great. It may not be suitable as a backing track for the original song, but it sure makes a good demo for BB and RTs don't it. grin

Hi Daniel,

I liked this one! You definitely have a good feel for what fits together musically. I could hear "Autumn Leaves" in your song. In fact, it reminded me of the a similar tempo'd version by Oscar Peterson that I heard a couple of decades ago. Peterson has played many different versions of this song. Here's one...

All the best,

Well... Let me just say, I Really Enjoyed That! Several Times

Nice Job!

Hi Jim, Noel and Greg
Thanks for your kind words (and the link, I enjoyed it). I googled Oscar to have a look if he's actually still alive, I'm not very literate in Jazz. (He passed away 23.12.2007). I always thought he was an American, but I just learned he was a Canadian Citizen.....

Have a nice day
Daniel
