Since the Real book lead sheet to Tadd Dameron's "If You Could See Me Now" doesn't seem to have the melody quite right, here is a Bill Evans Trio performance that seems closer to me. This is from the Riverside OJCCD-434-2 CD, "Bill Evans Trio - Moonbeams" with Paul Motian on drums and Chuck Israels on bass, recorded in New York in May of 1962, but I edited the version here, down to 2:24 from 4:30 or so.
Elsewhere in the news, for all you political junkies, Tom Delay's initial statement about his indictment is already considered a classic of political invective, but it could still use some tuning. If you want to help I've provided a webpage with a "Madlibs" style fill-in-the-blanks form that you can use to tighten up Mr. Delay's statement to the press. You, too, can be a Press Secretary!!

Thanks for stopping by.
Mingus used to say of really sharp-brained people that they could "hear around corners." May you get that.
Me. I'm a classical dog, gotta have it written out for me. Guiliani, Sor, and all those guys. But I can hear the jazz guys.
Bass-wise, Charlie Haden is my #1, with Jaco a parallel 2nd, a different universe thing. I've always been into the way the bottom end moves things. But Jaco could play it like a horn.
