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.
The Guild Surfliner ... So much to like for so...
