Threre is a very energetic take of Bill Evans in 3/4 :

At my skill level it takes a while to work through new material. OTOH, I get to hear lots of great ideas from others while I learn.
-
Here's Joe Pass doing in in an acoustic quartet, at a nice swinging tempo.

As we're gradually transferring the content of YouTube to here, here's a version I don't care for much! I like the modern players and admire the sounds, but I think it can get overdone and merely become a search for the bizarre, which in turn becomes a bit shallow.
Sorry, Jonathan (great player, normally one my heroes). Mind you, it's very well done :-)

That was really nice. You brought out the tune, sounded lovely, great voicings, and it had feeling; you played it like you meant it. Excellent.
(But cut out that flamenco stuff, it doesn't fit at all. Would anyone start playing Misty in the middle of a Malagueña? )

Your take in 3/4 is really nice and very optimistic.
Fantastic jazz sounding Tele in your hands.
You have a big jazz vacabulary and every note is clean for me.
Perfect single line solo with great jazz feel.
You are my nr 1 .
You just play without any philosophy.
Jazzingly Yours

I like this old version very much:

I think it's quite interesting that very few of us actually discuss how we play over these standards every month. At least, as far as I can see. Maybe the last time was Caravan, over that long section of C7 (or C7/Db7). That was a bit of a puzzle.
With this tune here, I've been looking at what I was using to play over the two sections that begin Fm7b5/Bb7 (bars 9 - 12 and 25 - 26). I've been playing a few things - Ab mel and outline the Bb7 or Bb13. Or Ab mel and F dorian. Or maybe Bb7b9.
Or, maybe, Eb harmonic m. That's probably the nearest one theoretically because it treats the chords as a ii-V of Ebm. You get the natural D over the Fm7b5 as opposed to Db. But harmonic minor can get a bit sweet after a while... you know.
To those players who've contributed their versions here, how have you approached these chords, as a matter of interest? Not a theoretical answer, but what have you actually played?
Just wondering. Of course, writing it all down like this doesn't make for easy to read posts, so sorry for that.
