Autumn Leaves

Artist: Manuel

Album: The Ultimate Latin Album

Song Length: 3:02

George's Thoughts: I doubt there are many songs that have been done more often than this one. Pretty well every Jazz entertainer in history has played or sung this classic number. However, most versions are not well suited to Rumba, being either too slow or too "big-band" in styling to work. Those that give it a Latin styling, like Francisco Aguabella's great version on "Cubacan" or Geraldine Hunt's energetic version on "Soultry Jazzy and Sexy" make it so complex that you can't dance to it. That's probably why you won't find it on any strict-tempo albums. However, the version found on "The Ultimate Latin Album" just works for Rumba, and works well, even for an instrumental piece.
