(by Joseph Kosma) Autumn Leaves is a very well known jazz standard song. It was composed by Joseph Kosma in 1946 for the movie. The original title was Les Feuilles Mortes (in French please!). English lyrics and title by Johnny Mercer in 1949.

Jazzmen will usually want to play this one in G minor. Guitarists, you have be warned! So many of us tend to play it in the “Fakebook key”, which is E minor / G Major, with the first chord being Am7. If you want to avoid a little surprise at a jam session (or a bad experience) just be prepared to play Autumn Leaves in G minor / Bb major, like the grownups do. (-: It’s also advisable to learn the classic introduction to Autumn Leaves. It’s just a bass riff that goes 1-b3-5-6 (and back down), defining a Gm6 chord. You can hear it on the. When I play gigs as a leader, I often simply start this riff and the other musicians come in whenever they like.

(See below for PDF and mp3 clip of intro suggestions for jazz guitarists) The whole song stays pretty much in the same key (and it’s related major) throughout. There’s not really any “funny business” going anywhere, except for that little “III-VI-II-V” turnaround going to Eb in the few last bars. You’ll have to shed it a little.

I find this piece allows for a lot of freedom in improvisation. It also lends itself to many styles. I personally play that tune all over the place, from a ballad tempo all the way to some up-swing in 5/4 time! Unfortunately this song is often perceived as a beginner tune by intermediate players.
