This man is the man that show me how beautiful violin and jazz are. So sad that he passed. Rest in peace, you worked hard.

[@jorieru8556]

where did you get the news of his passing if I may ask? just curious

[@PootisPlayer]

i’m here March 19th, 2020, and i remember jamming out to this song when i was younger about 5 years ago. i’m.. so sorry to hear that you’ve passed. you’ve inspired me to pick up my violin once again, but i hope that this 2 AM half-asleep comment shall fulfill the desire. thank you so much dude, you’re amazing. rest in peace.

[@imasiontist653]

I am also watching this at 2am. You're the only recent comment i could find lol

[@leonardomaya6019]

foo how do you train

[@baigechen8620]

I'm here on October 2nd, 2020, and I'm still loving this piece. God bless his soul.

[@jorieru8556]

what happened?

[@PootisPlayer]

@@jorieru8556 retaw sadly passed away from a fatal car accident. rest in peace.

[@imb08]

The sheet music he posted in the description is it guys. This song is a popular standard and is often left open for interpretation. The song is for the most part improvised except for the melody (that is unless someone decided to write out a violin solo for this tune). Welcome to jazz, Violinists'

[@stringjazz2937]

RIP Retaw Boyce. You're still with us in every note played.

[@MrFlute993]

can you give me some link track in your chanel have Retaw play, plz

[@stringjazz2937]

Ok. I'll play Retaw scores.

[@yellowgreenman6615]

I came back to listen this song 1 year later , it's still beautiful!

[@kutlualpsahin4328]

When I was nine years old I decided to learn to violan because of you.ı’ m twenty now and ı’m still playing thanks for everything... RİP

[@thomascath1]

Your music has touched my soul. I lost my son recently and i think of him when i listen to this. Thank you.

[@jonyskrla2275]

Im sorry for your loss, hope you are doing great now! Wish you a pleasent day

[@epicmysticalyt8129]

Rip a beautiful soul. I just found you a few months ago. I just wanna say, thanks so much for doing this. Hope your doing well in heaven

[@shishi8447]

Because this video, I've re-started to learn the violin . 8 months passed , today I start to transcribing this music sheet , the more I listen this the more I admire Retaw's improve performance. Hoping one day I can play Retaw's edition and dedicated to him . RIP Retaw

[@ncao]

[@xavierzhang9554]

Hi Shishi do you still have the full music sheet with the free style part?

[@gregorfussenegger]

So sad to hear that he passed away... I remember watching his videos when I was just starting out with jazz violin back in 2013. Thx for all the inspiration man! I will remember you.

[@robbieGftw]

Probably thes best interpretation of Autumn Leaves I've ever heard. Your music lives on Retaw!

[@lightblue2490]

I'm crying, this is so precious. I will learn to play this someday

[@yc2877]

I’m already trying to learn piano but I’ll learn to play violin if you do.

[@jaymesmorris3990]

Pixar shorts vibes specifically old man playing himself in chess. I only just found you and I am heartbroken to know the world has lost such talent. However I am also over joyed and I hope you are too to see the amount of inspiration you left behind and continue to make even after your passing. Rest in peace.

[@barrypixie9489]

Damn Man! RIP? Wha? U r just a young feller...! Loved this since u first had it posted ... nearly 12 years ago... Now listening again.... Your enthusiasm makes it like a lesson... delivery so expressive, almost anyone would want to remember, to try to learn, even one single phrase of your style, to swing like you, hep cat ... even me. We were some kind of a community back then... I was useryug ... Now checked the news .. only just in 2017.. Condolences to your family and friends.. Thank you for the music x Love .. PS. In 12 years, this is the best improv I've heard around this tune.... So you got the longevity man... albeit posthumously xx

[@PlanetYokoshima]

"Just fiddlin round... need some real musicians instead of this midi backing!" A human being, with dreams, plans, and hopes, passed away just like that

[@PootisPlayer]

JakulaithWolff yeahh.. damn...

[@klausgreene4034]

It must be wonderful to make people feel good and not at the cost of others

[@vikramrajiyer]

Profound...

[@abhinavaggrawal2280]

You definitely play good with words man

[@tebogomocheku2481]

Truly a inspiring feeling

[@JoergSternhagel]

Thank you, Klaus! Very well said. One of the big diseases and problems of our times.

[@tuberrosa1092]

I love this rendition. Thank you Mr. Boyce for the talent and the passion.

[@DavidChristieCareerCafe]

[@TizianaDapoli]

almost in 2020 still loving it...i do not think it will ever get old...he will live for ever through his music

[@MalkonDova]

I only recently came across this looking for inspiration music, and this performance genuinely has so much soul put into it. I love everything about it--- but It's awfully unfortunate to hear that the guy passed away, rest in peace.

[@huseyn.abizadeh]

I've been learning violin for one month already and I'm wishing to play like this. When I'm done, I will come back.

[@PAS4L]

It is 2020 October 21 at 2:14 pm and let us have a moment of silence for the people that can’t find this Beautiful music

[@narendhachinkhai4223]

RIP Retaw...You are my inspiration.

[@PatrickVida]

I am listening to this. I am a violinist myself and had to play at a celebration spontaneously. Retaws playing and his backing track saved me yesterday. My Thanks to you Retaw, thank you to the spiritual dimension

[@petromic1947]

This is one of the best renditions. I love it 👍👍👍👍👍

[@GraMartinez]

Tantas veces lo oí, en estos años, tantas veces me dejo transportar por esta versión, no recuerdo si lo agradecí en otro momento, pero desde ayer lo escuché una y otra vez... bellísimo, bellísimo... intensamente me llena el alma, GRACIAS!!!!

[@harrykoschorreck8144]

dear one....this has been my favorite piece of music. I reflect on losses pain of being human and the joy that is often balanced over the scales of time. Thank you for playing so beautifully.

[@marjiepage7574]

Thankyou for making my day with your great rendition of Autumn Leaves xxxxxxx

[@911CleaningService]

I could listen to this over and over......I recently started violin and would give my right arm to play like that. shoot, that's not a good idea. I'm fascinated not only by the great playing but the tone your getting!

[@papaboyzhardcore5240]

you given your soul

[@sarahdunston1338]

I have watched this so many times. dude you are such an inspiration to me. I saw this clip and I was like- 'I wanna play like THAT' so it hurts me, to watch this a year later, and know i am still no where close ( sigh..) ah well, maybe in ten years! I'll just keep plugging along..

[@basilcilantro622]

Sarah Dunston Same here😢

[@david7638]

How about now?

[@ronin3054]

Sarah Dunston yeah, how about now ?

[@beachybum-bum6390]

Sarah Dunston don't worry dude you can do anything as long as if you put your mind to it :)

[@jmike1373]

Been workin on it?

[@sydpao2224]

I was watching the TV Series the Originals which is set in New Orleans and the music there is great. I saw some scenes where there are violinists playing jazz and I thought the the music is so rich and relaxing... I searched in KZbin and found this. Great, now I am a fan of violin jazz.

[@nigellusfreya9210]

I am just in love with this cover for like 6 years as far as I could remember

[@deshawnbrown366]

[@cgolson]

Very awesome, we must have watched this one a dozen times already and still luvin it. Good for you!

[@brian777999]

This is a seriously good version of a well known jazz standard. I love this blues style of jazz violin and there is precious little of it on the internet. Thank you for posting it and how about a few more please ?

[@RetawBoyce]

If you do a google image search for Autumn Leaves Music or search by its French title Les Feuilles Morte, there's a few versions available. Otherwise message me with your email and I'll email you the version I have.

[@Pr0phet_Taker_official]

[@MisterBigBlunts]

It took me a while to figure out what this song reminded me of, but I finally nailed it down. It reminds me of the some "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" from Grease.

[@kobinski]

Great Song, and beautiful sound of violin....... Cool!

[@MaikDeZamaz]

Oh, man! I just found this video and I really love it.

Here's someone who doesn't destroy the essence of a tune with hamming it up but embellishes it with his own personal feeling mood. Great work!

Good lord, found out about his passing right here. I was his fan for 10 years from the opposite side of the globe and I am very sad about this. :( Retaw, thank you for everything you gave us

[@owlet1963]

A great musician and a lovely soul left way too soon, indeed!

[@8165Pat]

You've got that swing that does the thing!

[@noname8354]

People have been telling me jazz on a violin sounds good, so now I'm here. The smoothness of the strings makes it sound good for this piece, but other instruments still dominate jazz, as there are styles that won't sound good on the violin

[@ncao]

He played viola.

[@amandaaquino2945]

Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!

[@Sudschick610]

Love this very much!!

[@ccmusic2249]
