Higher resolution Jazz

" I like that it was brought to light a few times about the recording of live jazz and how the vibe is different because of the musicians feeding and playing off of one another vs. recorded in a studio"

I always like live recordings for exactly that reason, but I think that given the improvisational aspects of Jazz in particular and how audience interaction can become a factor in that as well, I tend to prefer live Jazz recordings over studio ones the most.

Same as in classical music, everyone has to be perfect. The Emerson String Qt gets best reviews in the world, I've seen them live 3-4 times, like listening to a giant player piano. note perfect, zero soul.
Thinking about b.s. music , Bach must be the least b.s. composer of all time, no matter where he goes or does everything else stays in perfect balance , like God's own kaleidoscope.

Count Basie jam #1...wow...actually anything on Pablo label sounds good imho

Schubert, I sometimes enjoy the Emerson's recordings (haven't heard them live since the early 80's) but I agree that they get an inordinate amount of praise if not a free pass. Their Art of the Fugue CD sounds like a keyboard synthesizer to me. As far as younger quartets go, you might enjoy the Miro Quartet. With the demise of the Guarneri they are becoming my go-to group.
