Kind of Blue is not a well recorded album. The music is, however, beyond reproach. Perhaps my favorite jazz album. My recommendation is Boss Tenor by Gene Ammons. As to vinyl vs digital; I have a very high end system with both. The key is the quality of the mastering on either format. I love both formats but recommend folks on restricted budgets will get better SQ from a well chosen digital system.
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?
