Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital

Jazz doesn’t, and shouldn’t appeal to everyone. It’s like a very rare and fine wine, which only a few appreciate.

Music theory isn’t necessary to appreciate jazz, nor is it complicated. Jazz uses the same 12 notes used in Classical music. So how is it musicians created a music, that on the surface appears, complex? But is it complex, or simply your ears aren’t tuned how to listen? That’s why I said, many don’t understand jazz, which has no bearing on whether they like it. Compared to jazz greats, I’m a very mediocre jazz musician. But still, it’s been a journey I’d not trade for anything.

For those who think British jazz ain't jazz

Great jazz musicians for my taste in every decade

That’s why I said, many don’t understand jazz

I would add: many think but don't know what jazz is, my being an example

Jazz is like caviar or lox. You need to develop a taste for it if it doesn’t immediately grab you. But also jazz as an idiom suffers in popularity owing to the myriad of mediocre musicians and styles that claim to be “jazz”.

Sheffield labs D2D recording of Tower of Power simply called "Tower of Power Direct". It has only six songs, and this is T.O.P. doing their known favorites in a live environment. I still get goosebumps listening to this nearly 40 years later. Go for it.
