Just received my Jamey Aebersold (jazz/sax) book and cd "Autumn Leaves". Playing jazz on drums was always fun, this though seems more intense. It is a backing track with piano bass and drums. I expected sax but didn't get it. I'll work through it and give a review,,,,it might take some time though.

Love that song. Sang it on the radio when I was 6 or 7. I still like to hear it, on those rare occasions when someone plays it. I especially like the Jazz versions.

I play it daily, but with its simplicity it sounds hollow, hence the book. I would also like to be able to play Canadian Sunset well, but have no idea as to how that will be done.
