Loussier did an album of jazz interpretations of Chopin's Nocturns that's pretty interesting. The interpretative liberties that he takes with Chopin's pieces are conservative at best and usually amounts to flatting the fifth of the scale or loosening up a run here and there, but it's still quality.
