    Great. If you are looking for another jazz style lesson, perhaps a bit of bossa nova, João Gilberto style. Some of it is accessible. Even tie it in with that first Nouvelle Vague album!

    Great! I like that Adrian pays some attention to this style of music.

    I decided to finally give jazz a try based on your "10 essential jazz chords" video about a month ago, and have been practicing the chord shapes from that video and writing simple little 2-5-1 progressions every day. It has been so enjoyable and really reignited my interest in guitar. Then I saw this video to pop up today and it's exactly what I need to take the next step hahaha. Can't thank you enough!

    Yes! Love this, Adrian, thank you. Coincidentally, I was just listening to Cannonball Adderly's version of 'Autumn Leaves' this morning whilst working. Sooooo good!
    And yes, love all the recordings you mentioned, like the ones by Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis, etc. Also love Julian Lage's version. Oh, heck, I just love it.
    Great lesson, as always -- so well done, and long live Jazz!🎶

      That CA version is probably my favorite -- you can't go wrong with the group he put together, and that whole album ("Somethin' Else") is great.

    3:29 Indeed, written by famous French poet Jacques Prévert with Hungarian-born composer Joseph Kosma. Le original title being "Les Feuilles Mortes". Gainsbourg--whose fantastic album Melody Nelson Adrian explores in a previous video--wrote a song about the song, "La Chanson de Prévert" (lit. 'Prévert's song'), for his third album, 1961's L'Etonnant Serge Gainsbourg.
    Probably way more information about the background of the song than anyone ever wanted!

    • @acpg

      Great info - thanks for sharing. I'm off to check out the Gainsbourg song you mention!

    • @ptittannique5621
      @ptittannique5621 Місяць тому

      @@acpg My pleasure--hope you've enjoyed it! It's also occurred to me that you may not be aware that Gainsbourg's fifth studio album (Gainsbourg Confidentiel, from 1964) was entirely recorded with a modern jazz duo, featuring none other than Elek Bacsik on guitar (Django's cousin!)
      There's some tasty jazz guitar on that one.

  • @DrewTurock

    He meant to say that the 4 chord is Cmaj7 (not Gmaj7) - G is the 1 chord. (at the 7:32 mark)

      @acpg  Місяць тому +3

      Oops that's right. Thanks for pointing it out. Annoyingly there's no longer a way to add onscreen corrections to. video. But hope it's not too confusing to anyone.

    @fakeplastic1826 Місяць тому +1

    The theme to MASH - Suicide is Painless, used the some of chord progression/melody of Autumn Leaves. You can especially hear some of the voicings and melody choices in Barney Kessel's versions.

      It's a 1990s 52 reissue. I think the American Vintage series is the modern equivalent model.

    Hello Sir, I listen to jazz time to time...but, haven't really played it yet.
    I know an assorted chord or two...
    Can you please tell me why that "2-5-1" chord progression came about? Why is it kinda distorted that way, instead of the "1-2-5" order? 😁
    I'd truly appreciate thy help. Thanks! 🙏
