A couple of corrections to my comments.
The Michael Brecker album title is "Two Blocks From The Edge".
Tony Williams’ quintet is hard bop but Brecker is post bop and I see Steps Ahead classed as fusion (though not fusion as I tend to think of it).

FWIW - I have a KAB mod’d Technics table w/Heed Quasar phono pre and a couple of Grado carts. I enjoy analog sessions but listen to digital probably more than 90% of the time. Seems to me getting great sound out of an analog rig might be more challenging (set up and $ invested?) than required to get good sound from digital - my O-pinion. Will be delighted if that doesn’t attract the usual carrion eaters.

"Generally speaking, the difference between Post Bop and Hard Bop is that Hard Bop carries a stronger trace of the blues and a more straight forward driving rhythm...."Above from the article at the link here:
