Higher resolution Jazz

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.

I would say check out the Jazziz On Disc recordings on CD. I just got the Jazziz Nightlife Music for Early Evenings and Late Nights Vol. 5 CD because I started a new winter subscription to their magazine. The music CD that came with the mag and the recording is AWESOME sounding.

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.

Thanks Tosta, I haven't heard the Miro but will check them out, and yes, the Guarneri had soul in spades !
My faves were the Lindsay and above all the long-gone Hungarian whose Beethoven and Bartok cycles are on Vox are to die for.
The Hungarian Schubert "Death and the Maiden " on Vox is perhaps my most treasured LP.
