various artists - 'round midnight: oustanding versions of the great jazz classic (1986)
this Milestone Records release that i'd recommend grabbing if you find a copy. it may seem like listening to eight versions of the same song over and over again would be monotonous. it's not when you're listening to thelenious monk, the miles davis quintet, stan getz, the wes montgomery trio, the bill evans trio, art pepper + eleven, and the ron carter quartet. it is truly amazing to listen to the variety of ways to attack this standard. the level of musicianship and improvisational ability revealed in each of these is truly phenomenal.
