Big Jazz Band Music with Great Sound
Sounds like you prefer a more traditional big band sound (Swing). Count Basie’s band was one of the greatest; some would say the greatest.  Two recordings with truly outstanding sound: -“88 Basie Street” , “Me and You”.   You may also check out...

Thanks for the spell check @bdp24 😊 @unreceivedogma , as you obviously know OTL’s are great with high impedance loads.  The Stax are a very difficult load.  From 40-800 hz their impedance is 100+ ohms.  Limited bass and volume, but if midrange is...

And let’s not forget Milt’s recording’s with the Modern Jazz Quartet. Interesting mix of swinging Jazz and Baroque style canons and fugues. https://youtu.be/7qOTELKw6p0?si=echcV-cbkwvxG97-
