"Round Midnight", what is your favorite version?

First: Richie Beirach on "Continuum" Eastwind label

Second: Any version by Miles

Third: Herbie Hancock Quartet with Wynton

If you really like the tune, you must find the Laurindo Almeida/Ray Brown collaboration where the adagio from Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is combined with Round Midnight. On LP, this is a particularly stunning recording, and quite the challenge to accurately track Ray Brown's bass.

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

Funny how now one mentions the writer Thelonious Monk. He does several great versions of it. My favorite is Maynard Ferguson MF 3.
