I love this tune. I used to accompany a friend on clarinet on it before he passed away. The Duke Robillard version that the OP links to is really nice.
Here’s my attempt on solo guitar. I’ve been doing a lot more gardening than practicing lately, so it’s rough. I’ll try to work on finger mechanics and clean it up.
It's been awhile since i last logged in here, but there's a strange synchronicity in that i was just playing
'If I Had You' a couple of days ago, and here it is as this month's standard...

Thanks for the suggestions, people. Working on some of them, already.
Stumbled on this yesterday. Demonstrates playing "Blue Monk" in 3rds, then, in other vids, using 10ths, all the way up to...
