Our next TOTM is Autumn Leaves. Here is one of my favorite versions. Do you know who Eva Cassidy is? Man check her out, she is pretty heavy. More of a blues singer, but wow, she gives me chills. She died very young and in her prime. I'm a…

If you know the changes to Miss Jones and know the melody, here's a simple melodic solo to transcribe. If you transcribe it, post it here. You can hear the tune in the solo, right? You hear the harmony right? And I'm playing so little to…
