And the trees are stripped bare...

Is there anything that comes to mind when you think of autumn?

    Your blog make me enjoy two hours per week on Youtube, jumping from song to song. Last week I started with Van Morrison (When The Leaves Come Falling Down, Golden Autumn Day). Then I went to different versions of a song called Autumn Leaves: Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Nat King Cole and Keith Jarrett. This last one hypnotized me when I was young with the Koln Concert. It is one of the greatest albums I´ve ever listened to. So piano was then the question. Duke Ellington and Oscar Peterson were the following ones. I remembered that George Winston had beautiful themes related to seasons: Autumn again.
    Finally, I ended up in U2. What a wonderful song you´ve posted! It led me to some of their 80´s recordings (Bad, Unforgettable Fire, Van Diemen´s Land).

    Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis. Autumn Leaves.

    Manolo,

    I like both songs you've chosen. I love jazz, so Miles Davis is always a good option. On the other hand, I'm a "Before Achtung Baby" U2 fan, so I love the second suggestion too.
    Here's some more Autumn:

    Billy Holiday´s voice is always special and different. I think that what I send today could be a bit more difficult to appreciate. At least the first two or three times you listen to it. But it´s absolutely wonderful.
