I really like this Ted Greene version of Autumn Leaves. Greene was a guitarist who was known as both an educator and a player. He had a great harmonic knowledge and in particular the ability to apply that knowledge to the guitar. If you subscribe to spotify you should check out his album “Solo Guitar”. In this version of Autumn leaves he drifts into a swing feel using nice internal moving lines and then towards the end of the arrangement he starts to improvise in the style of Bach. Plenty of ideas in there !
