That Wes Montgomery track is awesome... but here's Stanley Jordan's take on the same tune:

I also remember a full cover album by George Benson called 'The Other Side of Abbey Road'. It's a funkier / jazzier take on the whole disc. Their version of I Want You (She's So Heavy) is fantastic but youtube is missing the full track so I won't bother linking it.

I have an old vinyl copy, originally owned by my father, and a Japanese CD of Ramsey Lewis's beautifully produced and arranged Mother Nature's Son album. The album was recorded just a month after the release of The Beatles(White Album) and consists of ten jazz covers of songs from that record. A couple of the tracks are available on YouTube so I thought I'd post them:

I'm totally going to keep my eyes open for a copy of this album. Sounds awesome.

Hope you will be able to get it. The colors of sound and varying tempos in the arrangements, the very tasteful piano playing and drumming...it all makes for a unique listening experience.
