I love watching videos of musicians covering songs made famous by jazz legends. I've posted quite a few of these as part of my YouTubers Dig series.
For examples, here are YouTubers Dig... Red Garland, Red Garland Part 2, Chet Baker, Hank Mobley, Bud Powell, Wes Montgomery, Deodato and Barry Galbraith.

Here's Waltz for Debby...
Here's Two Lonely People...
Here's Time Remembered...
Here's Interplay...
Here's Peace Piece...
Here's How My Heart Sings...
Here's Israel...
Here's Turn Out the Stars...
Here's Laurie...
And here's Little Lulu...
