Can anyone recommend some good versions of Beautiful Love which I should check out?

There's a John Abercrombie trio record with Don Thompson on bass that is particularly happening. And of course Bill Evans...

This is Mr Evans with a young NHOP doing a nice version.

Bill owns that tune, IMHO.

Yup. Bill Evans @ Town Hall.

EDIT: I also had a vocal version that was pretty good. I think it was Patricia Barber but I can't seem to find it.

I find this one pretty nice....

Bill Evan's version is great. Also Adam Rogers on his " Sight " disc,with John Pattitucci and Clarence Penn is amazing.
Shirley Horn sings a beautiful version on her " You Won't Forget Me " CD.

I love the Bill Evans version mentioned above.

My current favorite is Terry Plumeri's on "Blue and Green", with the head played on arco bass. Here's a sample, down at the bottom of the page:

The name of that album is "The Oracle".That is also the name of a composition by Dave Holland found also on this album.

Of course there is the Bill Evans version with Scott Lafaro on Exploration.

Does anybody knows where to buy this album? it seems it is discontinued. Amazon lists only used for 45$, no new ones!
