In the “newer” key of E minor, however, the highest note is a more manageable D, which most male and female jazz vocalists can easily sing.Įven though The Real Book was written, for instrumentalists, it may be that one of the Berklee College of Music students was currently playing Autumn Leaves with a jazz vocalist and decided to include that version in The Real Book.

(And with female singers, it sounds more operatic than jazzy.). In the “older” key of G minor, the melody’s high note is an F, which is above the comfortable range of most jazz vocalists. So why did The Real Book put it in E minor? (He did enjoy playing in “sharp” keys.) But no, his version is in G minor too. Since the original edition of The Real Book recommended Bill Evans album “Portrait In Jazz” at the bottom of the Autumn Leaves page, I thought that maybe Evans had recorded it in E minor himself. And the older musicians I worked with at the beginning of my career always played it in in G minor as well. Cannonball Adderley’s version, with the famous trumpet solo by Miles Davis, is in G minor. What happened to cause this abrupt change? The answer is this: The Real Book happened.īut the “real” question is this: Why did the original compilers of The Real Book put the tune in E minor? All the jazz greats, after all, played it in G minor. And then, all of a sudden, newer generations began playing it in the key of E minor (the first chord is Am). Several generations of jazz musicians played Autumn Leaves in the key of G minor (the first chord is Cm). (You can read the Autumn Leaves page HERE.) It’s a great question and the fact of the matter is that I don’t really know the answer. That’s the question a reader of my Jazz Pianist’s Guide To The Real Book recently emailed me.
