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 have many of the recordings discussed here. Before making an A/B comparison, you should be able to hear differences between: streaming and CDs, CD and hi res. If you cannot, probably your setup won’t do a good job of comparing digital to vinyl. 
 

If want to go ahead, I suggest using the Pawnshop recordings. I don’t much like the music, it is too showy. You can find cd and hr of some Pawnshop versions on Qobuz and Tidal. And you can get a vinyl version on Amazon. Also, Paul McGowan of PS Audio did a short video on Pawnshop. 
 

Personally, I prefer vinyl; but vinyl is like a boat - a hole in the water that you throw in.
