The Autumn Leaves Thread

John Steele · From: Renfrew, Ontario, Canada

Some of you may remember that, years ago, Jerry Gleason and I did a fun little project of improvising four bar exchanges on "Autumn Leaves".
The subject came up again this week, and I referenced the old thread (from the olde forum). When Jerry saw it, he dredged up the old sound files which accompanied the section tabs, and they are now active again. Thank you Jerry.

Here are the links:

This, is such good stuff. Hope to see more like this. John, how would I serarch for your old links in The Forum without knowing the name of certain tunes. I serached under your name but did not find many tabs and I know you many many prior to 2006. Thanks, steve t

I'd love to have those too as it was as great post by John and Jerry.

I must be doing something wrong I tried to access them on the old Forum and got the same message as did Mike.

If it is not too much trouble, perhaps Jerry could re-post the Autumn Leaves sound files on the Forum we use now, the new new Forum, as a new thread; maybe they will work.

I dug them out of the bottom of the database and reformatted them with the [tab] BBCode tag.

Has anyone saved the sound files for these which can be redone in a way we can access them and tack them onto the tab for the sections of "Autumn Leaves"? Thanks, Steve

I just discovered this ancient thread, resurrected last year, while searching for something else. If anyone is really interested in this, I still have the sound files for the links in the first post in this thread, which are no longer on the linked server.

This was quite a trip down memory lane, and Iâ€™m amazed that it lives on. Some context here- The original thread goes back to 1999, when digital recording at the consumer level was primitive, at best. As such, be aware that the sound quality of some of these files is very poor. I think I had to record my short .WAV files (no Mp3â€™s back then) at 8-bit, 22k resolution, so as to make them accessible via the dial-up internet connections that were the norm in those days. Audio interfaces for computers were uncommon, too. I had some kind of sound card then, but I think John S. was still trying to figure it out with a basic low quality voice microphone.

Communication in the steel guitar world was very limited in those days, too, so this kind of information sharing was more of a big deal then than it would be now. The idea of steel guitars trading fours on a jazz tune and tabbing it out was quite a novelty at that time. We were all just excited to figure out some of the cool things we could do with this new internet / Word Wide Web thingy. Now, having said all that, if anyone is still interested in the sound files that go with the tab, here ya go. Iâ€™m not going to attempt to fix the links, but if you want to reconstruct it, the file names indicate which measures they refer to.

John Steele, where you at?

Thanks Jerry! I've downloaded this. Into the file of things that I really really mean to get around to digging into. Really.

Autumn Leaves has a special love/hate resonance because I had a teacher (piano) in the early 70's who had me work this tune for 3 months in all 12 keys. You don't learn to love something that way. But you sure do ingest it. if nothing else, it's a twofive etude.

I stumbled across a sighting of John on FB recently and was glad to see that he seemed alive & well.
