I don't know of any offhand, but it seems like the guitar would be a really
natural instrument to play a lot of the harmonized heads from that album.
For example, the chord for "So What", stacked fourths with a major third on
top, is really easy to play on a guitar and move about in parallel.
Likewise for the parallel minor triads in "Freddie the Freeloader".
Both of those harmonizations seems really guitaristic to me.

Even if I will cut in pieces by purists ;-) let me
mention "So What" by Rony Jordan on album "The Antidote".

Larry Carlton has recorded both So What and All Blues. Both are
on his live albim "Last Night" as I recall. I also heard another
live version of hom doing So What on the radio, but I didn't catch
the source.
Mark Whitfield does Freddie the Freeloaded on his self-titled album.

Stanley Jordan also does 'Freddie Freeloader' on his first(?) release with
Blue Note, but I can't remember what the name of the CD.

both are - I play Kind of Blue on solo guitar often - like you
said, it fits pretty well on guitar, both the "famous" intro parts
and the "simple" modal changes - the whole intro can be played
very easily (bass then the horn chords, I don't stack them the
way you indicate in your post though) and whenever I can remember
them I start solo section off with the first few notes from Miles'
solo
I have played Freddy Freeloader on guitar but never found that it
sounds good on it (maybe it's just my version) - it can fit easily
enough, but it just doesn't seem like it belongs on the guitar
commenting on some of the versions of these songs that have been
mentioned: I do not like the Larry Carlton "so what" because the horn
parts really get to me - their sound just doesnt belong in the song
with the guitar to me - I also have never found the Stanley Jordan
version of "freddy freeloader" very interesting apart from the
histrionics associated with seeing it live - will have to hunt down
the Grant Green though and give it a lesson

The Stanley Jordan album is called Magic Touch. The Ronny Jordan version
So What has just been "remixed" (gulp!!) by DJ Krush on the Ronny Jordan
mini album "Bad Brothers"

There is a transcription of Stanley Jordan's 'Freddie Freeloader' in 'Jazz
Guitar', published by Hal Leonard. I think it was published around 1986.
I don't remember the name of the transcriber.

"Guitarist", and it is just him on solo acoustic guitar. "Guitarist" is
his first album and if you are a Eubanks fan, it is really worth a listen.
Cheers, --Ken--
