Autumn Leaves (Bossa Nova Guitar)

Tomohisa Kumagai’s excellent arrangement in the style of bossa nova. If you like this version ,and would like to learn it yourself I highly recommend purchasing the tabs: Check other Tomohisa’s arrangements here: -------------------------------------------------------------- “Autumn Leaves“ is an old jazz standard, starting with a French song with music by Joseph Kosma and lyrics by poet Jacques Prévert, called “Les feuilles mortes.“ Adapted with English lyrics in 1947 by American songwriter Johnny Mercer. His lyric is not a translation of Prévert’s, but uses a similar image of dead leaves to describe memories of love. Kosma’s refrain — an ascending melodic phrase is repeated in a descending series — evokes the leaves’ eddying fall. // //financialtimes
