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?

A few records that I think sound very good.

We Get Requests: The Oscar Peterson Trio (Verve V6-8606)

Night Train: The Oscar Peterson Trio (Verve V6-8538)

Bill Evans Trio: Sunday at the Village Vanguard (UHQR by AP)

Midnight Blue: Kenny Burrell (DOL)

jerroldis, The OP has since modified his question to say he just wants to identify high quality jazz LPs, even though jazz is not his cup of music. We all agree that the question about "proving" that analog is superior to digital is a can of worms best left unopened. So by the same token there is no sense citing digital to prove the opposite.

Charles Lloyd - Tone Poem. Sounds impossibly good on vinyl. Tone Poet label (Blue Note).

serious and silly questions to the experts:

are there Jazz singers vs singers singing Jazz tunes?

I am thinking Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse, Roberta Flack, Norah Jones. Is their ability to sing in a certain what makes them jazz singers or a good singer is a singer, period, and they will sing whatever they are inclined to?

How about Cleo Lane? She could sing ballads, swing and do scat with very pure, very rapid notes backed by ’her’ British Jazz band led by Johnny Dankworth (later Sir John Dankworth). I remember a drum solo where the drummer ended up playing one tiny end of a vertically held drumstick with another drumstick. Had the audience spellbound.
