This version is a little challenging, but not too difficult. “Please don’t release notes unless there is a good reason to”—which means to make all the notes in the chords sustain as much as possible while the melody, inner lines, or bass moves.
Give special attention to your fingerings, making sure you’re set up for the chord that follows, especially when there are tied notes.
Ted didn’t include the chord qualities—only the root names, so I’ve added the full names with red ink. Be aware that Ted makes a few significant variations on the melody in places.
The video below is my personal re-arrangement of "Autumn Leaves" in the style of Ted Greene, below the video is Ted version of the classic jazz standard.
