All of the Basie big band recordings on Pablo are great. Especially 88 Bassie Street if you're into vinyl, and its available as a 180g reissue.
There are - I think - three Duke Ellington records also on Pablo. Duke's Big Four is especially well recorded, but the others are good too. Most of the Ellington sessions on Columbia are well recorded. Try Festival Sessions.
