Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital

@lewm- do you have a copy of Art Pepper Today? It has a rendition of Patricia with Cecil McBee on bass, Stanley Cowell on piano and Roy Haynes on drums.

Although Pepper released 3 versions of Patricia, that album's version is stunning- (I got to it partly because I'm a big fan of McBee, who played on a lot of spiritual jazz albums). The Japanese pressing is gorgeous. 

Pretty straight ahead for McBee but great track, great performances by all. 

Not sure if I have “Today” LP. I’ll have to check. I also have high regard for Cecil McBee. Until the other night, I didn’t know I had “Among Friends” on Trio hidden in a low shelf in a cabinet I don’t often search. There may be more unplayed gems in that space. Do you suppose Trio is related to Kenwood? Trio is the name of the company in Japan.

@lewm- yes, according to Discogs, Kenwood was the parent company. What's interesting to me is that the eq on rock/pop from Japan often sounds more "tweaked" than on small combo jazz records. And of course, there were some beautifully made LPs that came out of Japan. 

So perhaps that explains the special-ness of Among Friends, in that Trio were showing off their capabilities. I have a Denon branded jazz LP that is also superb sonically. Pepper died in bad shape in 1982, but in 1978 he still had all his chops, as evidenced by his work on this LP. Session photos show his aging, however, compared to his earlier Contemporary album photos.
