I agree with Gsm18439 regarding "Waltz for Debby" LP (which I also own); also try Bill Evans' "Moon Beams". Great recording, nice cuts ... very well done all around. For vocals, consider Johnny Hartman and John Coltrane. The Romantic Jazz Trio on Venus Records is another well recorded small ensemble. They do an excellent job on some standards on show tunes. IMHO, for sheer production quality, the Venus label (Japanese) produces some of a best sounding new vinyl around.
