Brad Mehldau -
Jacob's LadderEDIT: Holy crap, this is awesome. If you like jazz as well as prog, I HIGHLY suggest this album. Here's a blurb from Mehldau's website about it:
Brad Mehldau’s album Jacob’s Ladder features new music that reflects on scripture and the search for God through music inspired by the prog rock he loved as a young adolescent – his gateway to the fusion that eventually led to his discovery of jazz. Featured musicians on the album include label mates Chris Thile and Cécile McLorin Salvant, as well as Mark Guiliana, Becca Stevens, Joel Frahm, and others.
You can tell some of the songs he "covers" ("reinterprets" is a better term - some sections are surprisingly close to the original, while other sections explore tangents as well) from the track listing.
