"Walking in the Moon" who is the artist????

I went to the San Francisco High End Home Entertainment show.
In the Wilson Audio room, where they exhibited the new Sophia speakers, they played a really nice version of Sting's "Walking in the Moon" being played by another artist. To anybody that went to the show and listened to it: does anybody know who the artist is?

Must have been this version:

"The second piece was the most dreadful rendition of The Police's Walking on the Moon I've ever heard, played by a forgettable jazz trio whose obscurity is well deserved."

I is from the Yuri Honing Trio album "Star Tracks" (Jazz In Motion Records).

An album that seems to be used mainly for audio demonstration purposes.

Can't imagine anyone else's version being better than the Police's. IMO that's damn near sacrilege!

For a real treat try Shawn Colvin's version of "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" off of the "Cover Girl" album. A completely different and unique reading that lends the song a whole new slant.

I won't presume to say it's any better the Police's but at least (1) it doesn't have anyone bleating on it and (2) the dynamics are superb. Good for demos.
