George Gershwin’s “Embraceable You” was composed in 1928 for an operetta that was never staged, but was included in the 1930 Broadway musical Girl Crazy and has been a standard ever since.

Since cornetist Bobby Hackett’s recorded solo in 1938 with Eddie Condon, it has been performed a countless number of times in the jazz world

From 1990, Freddie Hubbard on flugelhorn plays his own melodic version while joined by pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Avery Sharpe, and drummer Aaron Scott.
