old recordings being redone

[raynmari]

I am looking to compare old recordings to the newer recordings being redone.

For example: Nicholas Payton on Dear Louis revisting the Armstrong tunes

Roy Hargrove on Parker's Mood-redoing the Parker tunes

The Benny Goodman's combo was redone by...Gil Evans? Well, someone... Any more examples of this?

Not sure what exactly the question is(!), but Air's reworkings of tunes from the Jelly Roll Morton book - 'Air Lore' - are magnificent IMHO.

[robviti]

here's one i just "discovered," a reworking of sonny rollins's freedom suite

[sidewinder]

This one comes to mind:

[Alexander]

Branford Marsalis redoes "A Love Supreme," "Freedom Suite" and other tunes on "Footsteps of our Fathers."
