This one is all that comes to mind 🤔
Are there any other autumn related jazz standards?

Not exactly a standard, but Van Morrison's "Moondance" is definitely autumnal jazz.

Since we're doing a jazz standard thread, post your favorite covers.
I don't generally like Erroll Garner's style, but I do love his cover of "Autumn Leaves." The melody suited his playing:

This is "Early Autumn," perhaps my favorite melancholy jazz standard, which R3 mentioned.

Not sure this is a standard because it's associated only with one big bang, but Claude Thornhill's "Autumn Nocturne" (1941) is just gorgeous. Dreamy, cool and perfect.
You can enjoy the song just as beautiful music or you can feel free to imagine yourself in a cocktail lounge on Lexington in Murray Hill, people-watching and enjoying what you know in your heart will be the last few months of peacetime America for quite a while.

Autumn Leaves...
They make me hunger for chicken salad without the bread
and a wild freaky sexual relationship with a much younger well-hung man

So in the movie "Autumn Leaves"
Joan Crawford played a "typist", but that was just a metaphor for a "whore", right?

All the seasons. Sings the word "Autumn." Not jazz. Beautiful. Let's listen.

r18 "Whore" was Joan Crawford's only setting.
