Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital

You thank me now, but your wallet may say otherwise. For high sonic quality vinyl “for a price” check out:

• Reference Recordings

I have a modest stereo hifi (under 15k) using Harbeth P3esr speakers. I have a reasonably treated room with controlled reflections. I listen to mostly classical and jazz at reasonable volumes.

Digital music sounds great. I suspect the mastering of the specific media makes the biggest difference. I have multiple digital sources that I run through the same preamp > speakers, and it's obvious some are better than others. I have learned to identify publishers who take care in the mastering process, and tend to choose those sources.

Analog music sounds great. Mastering (and the quality of the pressing) makes the biggest difference.  All of my vinyl (well, most of it anyway) sounds good; some of it sounds fantastic. I can play around with different cartridges and get different presentations (I use a Technics 1200 GR with a removable head). It is deeply satisfying to change carts and enjoy the differences (differences is the operative word, not "better").

In my system, at least, I prefer vinyl for immersive listening, and digital for convenience. At the risk of sounding absurd, there is a "presence" in the vinyl presentation that I find compelling (like the music just jumps out of the speakers). My guess is that it is due to distortion coming from the vinyl processing. I dunno. Might be all in my head!

For starters, I'd suggest most of the Rudy Van Gelder-engineered Blue Note albums. My personal favorite is Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage." The Miles Davis albums on Columbia sound very rich and dynamic. "Sorcerer" is a personal favorite, and Wynton Marsalis's "Black Codes (from the Underground)", mixed at Columbia's 52nd Street "Monolith" studio in NYC, is a fantastic vinyl reference. It won two Grammys.

Any of the 180g or higher LPs.

If only the weight of the vinyl was proportionate to sound quality, buying LPs would be a simple matter.  Too bad it is not.
