This song is just gorgeous to my ears.

Some of my recent favourites;

Roy Hargrove Quartet - Strasbourg St. Denis​

But I also love this much slower, almost lazy version of the song;

44th Move - Broken​

A fairly recent group from the UK

Esbjörn Svensson Trio - From Gagarin's Point Of View​

And in particular this Live version, starting at 9:45

Nujabes - Feather​

While not strictly Jazz but more Hip-Hop, this is still one of the nicer songs around to listen to.

Bonus​

And just for fun this version of Dave Brubeck "covering" Golden Brown by the Stranglers.

The biggest downside here is that with the exception of 44th Move, most of these groups are disbanded or their namesake died.
I have a few more suggestions but that's for later.

EST is incredible sad that the pianist died.

Good grief. Just finished listening to the new Qobuz release of Art Blakey's band doing "A Night in Tunisia."

Lord, what a collection of spectacular solos. Had forgotten what a trumpet genius Lee Morgan was. F[]ck his silly girlfriend for ending his life far too soon.
