Higher resolution Jazz

Elizabeth returns with a bang. Well said. I also love Jazzcourier's comment about ECM's sound being a "sonic iceberg". Many good suggestions so far.

As has been pointed there are a lot of very good sounding "older" Jazz recordings; albeit, and thankfully, with a different sonic aesthetic than the squeaky clean sound of some modern or "audiophile" recordings which doesn't serve the music nearly as well. Here are some recs (in no particular order) with outstanding sound and which are a good primer for jazz novices, and welcome to the wonderful world of Jazz:

Oliver Nelson "Blues And The Abstract Truth"
Art Pepper "Meets The Rhythm Section"
Wayne Shorter "Atlantis"
Sonny Rollins "Way Out West"
Chick Corea "Three Quartets"
Kenny Barron "Live At Fat Tuesday's"
Stan Getz "The Lost Sessions"
John Coltrane "Soultrane"
Pepper Adams "Urban Dreams"
Paul Desmond "My Funny Valentine"
Sarah Vaughn "Live In Japan"
Cannonball Adderly Qt with Nancy Wilson
Miles Davis "Someday My Prince Will Come"
Bill Evans "Quintessense"
Freddie Hubbard "Open Sesame"

Great record and serious music indeed. Miles' rhythm section; of course.
