Some interesting versions amongst the classics I could find - I've gone for Oscar but I really like Evan's version too. Not sure which gig the Oscar one is from though.

Monk gets my vote, no one gives the song the same flavor, although the Bill Evans version was nice in a different way.

^ I've been thrashing the Evans version since I heard it, really enjoying it. Hard to go past Monk, as a listener, the things he plays seem so unexpected. Exciting really

Yes, I love Monk's playing, Sun Ra has some of that in his playing too.

Miles', because of the back story behind it, and Dizzy's advice he gave to Miles on how to play it well.

I'll go for the Hancock-Gordon version (since Hancock and Gordon are in the Bertrand Tavernier movie of Round Midnight)

I went in a version of Miles Davis. The version of Herbie Hancock will not be bad, too.

But this is a really hard one to judge. Monk's playing was so idiosyncratic that it's hard to compare anyone else to him. Round Midnight was Monk's song, and while it's been given some breathtaking renditions by some of the most gifted artists to ever exist, no one ever really played it quite like he did.

Monk and Miles neck for neck I see!

That Jim one is great too, thanks MileBeyond! Love Jim's touch.

Any more out there folks?

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...
