Not only jazz music lovers, but most of people know well "Autumn leaves". It's the most important non-American standard, and the eighth most recorded tune by jazz musicians, just before “All the Things You Are”.
Autumn Leaves was composed by Joseph Kosma as a choreographed duo for the ballet Le Rendez-vous, with a plot by Jacques Prévert. It was introduced first time by Roland Petit in 1945, without words and first time published by Enoch (Paris, France) in 1947. As a song Autmn Leaves became popular when performed by Yves Montand in 1953 and adapted into countless languages, sung by a wide variety of artists, ranging from pop and rock singers to jazz musicians.
Autumn Leaves was also adopted for solo jazz guitar and performed by countless guitarsits.
In video above we have perfect example of Autumn Leaves performed by lazz guitar legends Martin Taylor and Ulf Wakenius with notable Hong Kong jazz guitarist Eugene Pao
