Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital

I have not bought a vinyl record since CDs came out, but have been exposed to numerous claims that vinyl is better.  I suspect jazz may be best placed to deliver on these claims, so I am looking for your recommendations.

I must confess that I do not like trad jazz much.  Also I was about to fork out A$145 for Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" but bought the CD for A$12 to see what the music was like.  I have kept the change!

I love the jazz in the movie Babylon, which features local Oz girl Margo Robbie (the film, not the jazz).

So what should I buy?

The whole "What's better, vinyl or digital?" question is not binary, as your original question implies. There are many variables - the source material, the mastering, the quality of the vinyl pressing, the playback devices, etc.

Having said that, all of the Blue Note Tone Poet vinyl recordings I have are excellent.  Pick your poison, I doubt you'd be disappointed by any of them.  The Blue Note Classic series are not as good, and frankly, I avoid them.
