Could someone help me with the chords to Steve Jordan's arrangement of this song? I am getting some of it, but missing a lot.

Fabulous clip. Which part(s) aren't you getting? I'll gladly have a look in a day or so.

Glad you like it and thanks for the offer to help! I have virtually nothing. I bought the original sheet music off of eBay. It is written for piano and ukulele in the key of F.
The chords are:
F Dm Bflatm C7 F F#dim Dflat7 Gm7 C7 F Fm7 Bflatm C7 F Dm Bflatm C7 F C#dim Dm F#m
\\ \\ \\ \\ \\\\ \\ \\ \\\\\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\\ \\ \ \\\ \
Steve Jordan seems to start with Em7 ? x77987 - x77977 sliding up an down the neck, plays a lot of chords I can't get, except an F shaped chord on the 5th fret, and starts the song with G9 at the 9th fret
I watched it at half speed, but I am terrible at this.

If you like this stuff, get a hold of a copy of Here Comes Mr. Jordan. One of my favourite records.

Richard,
Thanks for the suggestion. I just ordered the CD Here Comes Mr. Jordan. I also discovered Marty Grosz on Youtube last night I like him too.

After watching that video, I adjusted the strap on my 18" archtop. I can get that playing position when sitting, and standing - well...

They are not professional recordings, but the sound is good enough and being solo, duets or trios, these are a great opportunity to listen to his playing some more.
I also got the book Rhythm Man: Fifty Years in Jazz. I have not had the time to read it yet, but I browsed through and it looks like a good read.

I love the album/CD. I did not know that a DVD was available, thanks for the link. I just ordered it. I will probably also order the book Rhythm Man Fifty Years in Jazz.
Destinytot was so generous in making the videos for me which gave me a start on how to play "I Go For That." I later paid someone to transcribe the whole song. I don't have it down yet, but I am working on it.

Moreover, I'm now thinking about using my 18" archtop (which has a floating pick-up) as an acoustic instrument on gigs. I've lowered the tuning on my nylon (to suit the lower-end of my vocal range), and I'm seriously considering doing the same with my 18" archtop.
What I like about Steve Jordan's (and Marty Grosz's) approach is how, above all, they keep the songs/music 'fun' - in ways that listeners respond to. Whether I'm playing melody or accompaniment, I want to do the same - engage listeners (without 'clowning') - but in my own way.
Developing a clear understanding of how to go about this has become the most important 'work'.

Yay! This music is instant sunshine!

As a kid I took lessons for several years in my parents' living room from Eddie Hazell. I didn't like jazz at that time, so I didn't get nearly as much out of those lessons as I should have, but I was a teenager and thought I knew everything.
Anyway, here is his version.

After hearing Mr Jordan do his thing, I think Eddie Hazell was wise to take it in another direction - sounds like a great live show.
On the other hand, 'some like it hot'... and 'I go for that'!
