Here's a good, detailed review of Brad Mehldau's latest, and an informed overview of the history of jazz covers of Beatles tunes. (I disagree with dismissing George Benson's "The Other Side of Abbey Road," by the way--I think it's brilliant, and it's worth it just for the earthy Freddie Hubbard solo on "Come Together".)
