Higher resolution Jazz

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.

Here's some older jazz recordings that have fantastic sound ... if your system is up to the challenge.
