Somehow Ted's playing is just otherworldly - even relative to the other great legendary players. Everybody else sounds more like each other than they sound like Ted. There's nothing or nobody like him. He always puts beauty first - at least that's how it seems to me.
incredible version of embraceable you. Such a great knowledge of harmony and chords played with great feeling. Don't understand why, even now after he died, he is not enough known.
but all time best of this one (imho) is the one Guy Van Duser did in 1977, it blows the socks offa any other version and sticks much truer to Gershwin's timing.
Absolutely stunning

Only Ted could make tuning up sound like part of a Gershwin song. Amazing!

Ted was one of the very best. I learn something every time I see or hear anything he did.

I love Ted Greene!!! What's that last chord???

@goldensleeves Probably some permutation of a "6/9#11" chord or a "maj7b5" chord. I dunno for sure though.

@mastertenorlhschoir Sounds like a 13th with a #9 to me.

I wish there was a lot more footage of Ted and Lenny Breau. I can't get enough of their chord/melody playing.
