Jazz Music Question

Jackie McLean (Alto saxophone)  has quite a number of recordings on Prestige and Blue Note labels from mid 1950s through the early 1960s. Many in the quintet grouping with the following 4 Trumpeters.

1 Kenny Dorham
2 Donald Byrd
3 Lee Morgan
4 Freddie Hubbard

Very good Hard Bop/ballads/blues mixture.

Is quintessential Hard Bop. Excellent suggestion @qdrone. The first cut is a ballad played by Donald Byrd (Trumpet). The rest are bluesy bop. I've had this recording for many years and still listen to it often. Excellent line up of musicians.

@whart,
You’re welcome.
I can imagine how well your Lamm Avantgarde Duo combo conveys this beautiful music.

You have a very good digital front end. The P.S.Audio PWT is one of the better sounding CD transports around. Your DAC is well regarded. Your front end is definitely capable of getting into the core/essence of the music.

2nd point is that fortunately most jazz recordings transferred very well to Redbook CD (Thank goodness!). No doubt you can achieve terrific sound with a quality analogue/ turntable front end as well.

But don’t sell your digital front end short. I can enjoy either format but my digital most certainly gets me eemotionally engaged in my jazz collection quite deeply. There’s literally a ton of "Hard Bop" jazz to be found on Redbook CDs😊.

@dsper,
This genre or era (Basically early1950s to early 1960s) is classified as "Hard Bop". This genre evolved from the "Be Bop" of the mid to late 1940s. There’s a ton of superb musicians and recordings to explore.

Artists from this era, Saxophonists, Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane, Sonny Stitt, Sonny Rollins, Harold Land, Johnny Griffin, Benny Golson, Jackie McLean, Jimmy Heath, Gerry Mulligan , Pepper Adams, Art Pepper.

Vibraphonist Milt Jackson I believe you’d enjoy.
There are many, many more from this fantastic period of jazz.
