Got 'em! 🎹 Autumn Leaves and So What both look good. Starting to woodshed tonight.

Saw the list. Do you want walking bass or arco on Autumn Leaves?
Derek Williams · Tue 5:30 PM

Walking — keep it moving. We'll stretch it out in the second chorus though, go ahead and drop to half-time feel when it opens up.
