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?

All things being equal I prefer the sound of vinyl. I have a pretty good digital system, probably better than my vinyl system, but I just like the vinyl sound better. Maybe that’s just my ears or maybe that’s what I grew up with 

I stream more than I play vinyl because it is so convenient and the sound difference is not huge. In any event, it’s impossible for someone to definitively say what will sound better to another person.. It’s entirely subjective, and your experience may be different than mine. You have to listen for yourself and everyone’s ears are different. Some may not perceive a different sound, but that doesn’t mean it’s true for everybody.
Isn’t that what we tell Amir all the time?
