"Round Midnight", what is your favorite version?

This tune has haunted me forever, every week I get a new favorite version; this week it's "Bobby McFerrin".

On LP, this is a particularly stunning recording, and quite the challenge to accurately track Ray Brown's bass.

Just like Makin Whoopee! Never heard a bad version of this standard either. I have many different versions and everyone sounds very cool!
