Many of the arrangements are identical to those used by Diana Krall on All for You: A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio.

And I haven't gone back yet to the original Nat King Cole examples, but that's next on my list.

What other examples of dueling versions of the same arrangement have you come across? Which version do you prefer and why?

It seems like any record made in the 90s or later that sells well can be found cheap at used sources. Supply and demand I guess.
