<I have a key question.  The fake books have Autumn Leaves in G, but I
know several tpt players - myself included - who like it much better in
Bb.  I have called it in Bb on the fly

********************

Perhaps your problem is that Autumn Leaves is in a minor key. The Real Book
key is E min. 
I like to play it in G min concert (so do you). So when you call the tune,
call G min.
If you call Bb, the band is gonna play in 5 flats, that's why the crazy
looks.
