Dylan didn't get covered much by soul/jazz artists, and a lot of the covers he did get sucked, like Stevie doing Blowing In The Wind.

Just listening to this unlikely cover, which I think is great:

Any other good ones?

 
I like Nina Simone's covers on To Love Somebody. Weldon Irvine on keys."Just like Tom Thumb's Blues", "I Shall Be Released" and "The Times They Are A-Changin"
 
not soul or jazz, but I'm always amused when Dylan covers turn up in Brazilian records, except usually they're shit.

this one by Gal Costa is decent, but it's because it's her singing and a decent translation by Caetano Veloso:

usually they're more in this vein:
