I'm sure there are some great of versions of this... starting with Miles Davis from the Plugged Nickel:

Jeez, with Miles covered I may have to pass on this one. Maybe I got a Bill Evans somewhere?

Here's Wynton's version from the first Standard Time album. It's actually pretty crazy, one of those tempo modulations in there still fucks me up.

Thanks for posting the Wynton ... today I listened again to his version of "We Three Kings" as I was coming home on the plane.. so awesome.

I've never liked this song.

But thanks to this thread, now you do?

Nah.

But when you're a jazz major, it really gets forced down your throat.

I do have a Bill Evans version somewhere - it's nice. I mean I can't really HATE the song, but this and All The Things You Are and All of Me and All Blues are kind of the jazz equivalents of Knockin on Heavens Door and Freebird and Stairway.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 06:27 (twenty years ago)

Miles + Cannonball on "Somethin' Else" has always been the definitive version for me.

― vartman (novaheat), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 06:36 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, that is certainly one of the definitive versions -- even the intro is often copied.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 06:38 (twenty years ago)

I was going to post the David S. Ware, but I've been beaten to it.

Kenny Dorham, from the 1958 album Sings and Plays

Well, I can't find Autumn Leaves anywhere, so here's "Ool-Ya-Koo."

Does anyone have a Charles Mingus version of All the Things You Are that opens with a reference to a Rachmaninoff piano prelude?
