Patricia Barber's albums are recorded extremely well

Re-issues of the Impulse! jazz recordings, such as Oliver Nelson's The Blues and the Abstract Truth

Blue Note XRCD such as Hank Mobley's Soul Station

 

Lots of good recordings from all eras. In general, I really like material from 1950's into early 60's, still using tube equipment in recording studios. The way some of these recordings sound so real, palpable, with ease, sense of relaxation. The most analog like digital gets.
