Synthfreek: Run, don't walk, to hear Bill Evans/Scott LaFaro/Paul Motian play your obsession. The album is "Portrait In Jazz" and there are two versions---a mono and a stereo---of "Autumn Leaves". The very different takes are an object lesson in the rarefied level of group improvisation that this trio achieved. The mono take, in particular, is stunning. Good listening!
Favorite version s of Autumn Leaves?
I admit to being obsessed with this beautiful song lately. Some of my favorite versions are by Lenny Breau(the most underrated guitarist ever?), Cannonball Adderley w/ Miles & Blakey, Earl Klugh, Eva Cassidy & Nat King Cole.
My very favorite version though is a very unorthodox version by Coldcut and remixed by Mixmaster Morris aka Irresistible Force. Here is a link to the track atop some visuals via someone's homemade youtube clip. One of the best chillout tracks ever.

Some versions I haven't heard but would like to: Paul Desmond, Chet Baker, Art Pepper, Bill Evans & Keith Jarrett.
