the song "invitation"

[BlueMiles]

I'm looking for recommendations of jazz versions of this song. I heard Roy Hargrove play it on the Ramsey Lewis TV show, and I was reminded of what a fine song it is. I know I've got a superb performance by Bill Evans, but otherwise my collection seems to lack versions. I would think it would be a popular ballad for jazz musicians.

Coltrane does it on The Stardust Session cd.

[A. Kingstone]

Joe Henderson has done several versions.

[Pete C]

Some favorites of mine:

Coltrane
Bill Evans (Intuition)
Quincy Jones big band (Quintessence)
Tete Montoliu (Tootie's Tempo)

Vocals:
Dinah Washington (on Roulette, various compilations)
Bobbe Norris (Out of Nowhere)

Harold Land - Lazy Afternoon - A very relaxing version of it.
Rick Margitza - This Is New
