Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital

@ketchup 

Thanks for the advice.  Fortunately for my wallet, I don't have much more life to live. In reality, I am at the stage where I "just like to learn about and play with TTs, carts., and phonostages (which is a totally valid reason to have a TT in my opinion)".

I am particularly curious about the high regard given to Garrard 301 spinners, and the prices they command.  Is it because they are inherently "neutral" or because they resonate harmoniously?  Or the beautiful engineering, and feel?  Or just that they start and stop almost instantaneously?

Another vinyl benefit is that my having to get up every few minutes to change a side lets my partner check whether I have croaked yet!

I have many "RCA Living Stereo, London ffrr, Mercury Living Presence, any of the early Telarcs" on record and CD / SACD, but sadly not the "Great Organ of Methuen Memorial Music Hall."

A lot of my Telarc records are digitally mastered.  My go-to test piece is a London aka Decca ffrr.

In general, I usually prefer the first recording I hear to subsequent ones.  Weird how the brain works ...

Yes, the brain works in mysterious ways.  I think we could have a long conversation offline or in another thread about psychoacoustics. 

@richardbrand - the Garrand 301 is popular because it’s rim drive adds “drive” to the music.  More modern turntables the platter, plinth, and motor is designed to lower the noise floor and/or work better sonically with cartridges.  Tonearms also matter.

@kennyc - I confess that I don't understand what adding "drive" actually means.  They do have a big motor and stylus drag may be less of an issue.  Not having rubber bands pulling the platter may help.

Tonearms - yes, an SME V costs more than the entire Holbo set up. My partner expects anything that expensive to have more than one diamond, and to be wearable.
