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?

I started a thread called "Truly Stunning Vinyl" (of any genre) a month or two ago and one of the early recommendations by two forum members was the Chet Baker album, Chet. They were right, it sounds truly stunning on my system. I would probably also love it streaming from a high res digital file but I've never done so. If you don't have a streamer in your system Google it, you can find some clips to see whether you like his jazz trumpet before buying it, but here's a link to the Craft Recordings vinyl version:

Happy listening.
