I like Tito Puente- El Rey version and, of course, Coltrane's.
Favorite version s of Autumn Leaves?
I admit to being obsessed with this beautiful song lately. Some of my favorite versions are by Lenny Breau(the most underrated guitarist ever?), Cannonball Adderley w/ Miles & Blakey, Earl Klugh, Eva Cassidy & Nat King Cole.
My very favorite version though is a very unorthodox version by Coldcut and remixed by Mixmaster Morris aka Irresistible Force. Here is a link to the track atop some visuals via someone's homemade youtube clip. One of the best chillout tracks ever.

Some versions I haven't heard but would like to: Paul Desmond, Chet Baker, Art Pepper, Bill Evans & Keith Jarrett.
