May I recommend Verve MGVS-6109
"Side by Side"
with Duke Ellington and Johnny Hodges.
Absolutely stunning performance.
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 several audiophile copies of Kind of Blue. The streaming version sounds the same and only costs $14.99 a month and includes half a million other high resolution albums and ten million red book CD quality albums. Much more cost effective than CDs. So, you have another step to lower your music cost and increase your library size." So I have a high end DAC and a high end LP system. Also numerous tape machines. My original 6 Eye Kind of Blue or the UHQR 33 & 45 best a high res stream or even my 24/96 download. If you think they sound the same then there is an issue somewhere. They most assuredly do not.
