Soul Eyes (Mal Waldron)
Mr. Lucky (Henry Mancini)
Call of the Wild and Peaceful Heart (Billy Harper) -not a "standard" but such a gorgeous head. And one of the smoothest things in 9 that I know of...

+1 The End od a Love Affair
You For Me. A very cool tune with unique changes that nobody does.

Some I really like;
-Spring Is Here - a good version is from Art Van Damme and Johnny Smith.
-Like Someone In Love
-Manhatten
-Emily - Tony Bennett sings this one on 'The Movie Song Album'
-Bluesette
-On a clear day
-I'll Remember April
There's heaps more but I have a mind blank and they're not coming to me right now.
George Shearing did a lot of interesting standards that aren't that mainstream; there are some real gems there. Snappy arrangements too.

I like Never Let Me Go
It's originally from a movie called The Scarlet Hour and Nat King Cole sang it then - there's also a great live version by Bobby Hutcherson w/the Timeless All-Stars on YouTube. Nice ballad, not played too much as far as I know
Imagination (Jimmy Van Heusen)
You Stepped Out Of A Dream
East Of the Sun
Just Friends
Violets For Your Furs
The Summer Knows - nice version by Art Farmer
Deep Purple - a song I learned from the sheet music, never heard a version that I really liked but great tune
I Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry - a bit of Dexter never hurts
James - nice tune by Pat Metheny from Offramp
Some of the bossa tunes that are maybe less played (in Belfast anyway :-))
Like
Once I Loved
If You Never Come To Me
Gentle Rain
So many great tunes out there
