This is my current Herbie favorite:

Which then made me think of Fred Hersch's rendition of "Both Sides Now:"

Sorry for diverting the thread but I hope you'll enjoy these performances!

Herbie's cover is lovely but he reharmonizes it too much I think..if I didn't know the title on first listening I wouldn't have recognized Joni's song.

Hersch's take is deeply moving.

Still, he’s got such profound and mature depth in his interpretations that I’ll follow him as best I can.
