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?

A few records that I think sound very good.

We Get Requests: The Oscar Peterson Trio (Verve V6-8606)

Night Train: The Oscar Peterson Trio (Verve V6-8538)

Bill Evans Trio: Sunday at the Village Vanguard (UHQR by AP)

Midnight Blue: Kenny Burrell (DOL)

Based on the responses so far, the consensus would seem to be that vinyl has no over-whelming, intrinsic advantage these days, despite what many dealers / magazines say.
 

I strongly disagree with the consensus:)
