This stuff has been out for a minute, but both these covers of J Dilla's "Fall In Love" beat are, quite frankly, heavenly tracks. One is a cover from a young jazz group out of Toronto called Bad Bad Not Good. They do a lot of really good hip-hop covers in general (Hard in Da Paint, Lemonade, World Is Yours are all fantastic jazz covers) and I encourage you do check them out here.
The other is a tribute from a couple of years ago, and it is an orchestral arrangement that Carlos Nino and Miguel Atwood Ferguson put together for Suite for Ma Dukes, as they did a live performance and sold records with all proceeds going to Dilla's heirs (if you don't know all the drama behind Dilla and his inheritance, just know that it is a messed up situation). For more information on this project, check out this Stones Throw page.
