Cannonball Adderly - Know What I Mean

For anyone just starting into Jazz, or has gained an appreciation for the music, I highly recommend Chick Corea's TRILOGY, a 3 CD set.  Being lazy, I'll just cut and paste:

Product description

On September 9, 2014, Stretch RecordsConcord Jazz will release Trilogy a recording to rank with the landmarks of Corea's career. Trilogy is a triple-CD set recorded live around the world with his spectacularly virtuosic trio featuring bassist Christian McBride and drummer Brian Blade, both star leaders in their own right (and previously the rhythmic backbone in Corea's Five Peace Band). A marvel of live recorded sound, particularly for having been captured in multiple stops on the road, Trilogy sees the trio reinvent classic Corea compositions (such as 'Spain'), as well as previously unreleased originals ('Piano Sonata: The Moon'). The group also performs an array of jazz standards (including two Thelonious Monk tunes) and even re-imagines a Prelude by fin-de-siècle Russian composer Alexander Scriabin ('Op. 11, No. 9'). The recordings were made live in Washington, D.C., and Oakland, CA; in Spain, Switzerland and Austria; and in Slovenia, Turkey and Japan. Corea, McBride and Blade are joined by special guests on three tracks: flutist Jorge Pardo and guitarist Nin o Josele in Madrid ('My Foolish Heart' and, aptly, 'Spain') and vocalist Gayle Moran Corea, the pianist's wife, in Sapporo ('Someday My Prince Will Come').

 Don't be put off that it's a live recording.  It will bring your system alive.  Cheers.

Also explore the music of Gene Ammons. Gentle Jug.... Its a delight as is so much of his music.

@bigtwin  I bought it (Presto Music download with booklet $15) - thank you.  I was hesitant at first since samples sounded muddy, but it was only effect of strong compression.  Sound quality is very good and performance is fantastic.
 

@kijanki   Glad you like it.  It's always satisfying when someone follows up on a recommendation and likes what they hear.  Christian McBride has several terrific LPs of his own.  "Gettin' To It" is a personal favorite of mine.  Cheers.

@bigtwin  I listen to samples and I'm Gettin' It  

Not only good Jazz but super sound quality.  It sound like there is no compression at all.  Brass instruments have huge dynamics in treble.  Great performance and sound - thanks again.

I have few CDs with fantastic sound, showing that CD media is not a problem.  I can even understand need for some compression (for small speakers and nervous neighbors), but a lot of music is poorly recorded and/or mixed.  Digital recording brought a lot of problems.  With unlimited number of channels they placed microphones if front of almost every instrument in symphony orchestra resulting in poor sound.    Some instruments don't sound well that way.  I've read that cello start projecting sound to the back in certain frequency range (around 300Hz).  Over time numbers of microphones dropped and now they use only few (often just one).
I'm surprised, that older Jazz recordings sound so good in comparison to rock/pop music from the same years.
