Recommend Well-Recorded Hard Bop Jazz on CD?


Can you recommend some well recorded Hard Bop Jazz CD's? (Remasters) I have some of the JVC 20bit K2's, as many as I could find. Many have been sold out for years. Have some JVC k2 Cd's of Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey, Coltrane, Miles, Bill Evans etc. Not many out there left to be had. The Columbia jazz recordings (Miles etc) are for the most part excellent recordings. Example: "Miles Davis Qunitet. 1965-68-- if you listen to CD's and don't have this box set, you are missing out on an excellently recorded cd set of great music. Another: the "Miles Davis and John Coltrane, The Complete Columbia Recordings" is another set of excellent music and excellent recordings. Individually too, many of the Columbia CD recordings on jazz are very nice. For sound quality, the Blue Note jazz and RVG Remasters series is hit and miss (mostly miss imo). The music itself is awesome, but many of the recordings are tilted up in the highs and lacking overall sonic weight and bass,(the recordings sound thin), but I own quite a few of these recordings because the artists were too great and their contributions to the Hard Bop genre and Jazz in general are too significant to pass up.

Any suggestions of other well recorded, good sounding, Hard Bop Jazz on CD? (that are still available) Thanks.

Red Rodney, "Then and Now" CheskyJD79. Red takes classic tunes from bop's early years and updates them to '90's versions. Red was a seminal bopper and this was one of his last recordings. Great music very well recorded.
Sonny Clark; Sonny's Crib: Donald Byrd, trumpet; Curtis Fuller, trombone; John Coltrane, tenor saxophone; Sonny Clark piano; Paul Chambers, bass; Art Taylor, drums. Blue Note 97367 is so tough, I am going to jamm it twice.
Orpheus10, I see you're still jammin; thanks for the recommendations.

Blue Note has released a new series of remasters that are supposed to be amazing. I'd do a search. Last I knew, there were only 4 available so far; but more due soon.

Jfz, can you be more specific? I looked around and I can't find any new Blue Note remasters, just the same old RVG series and other Blue Note remasters from years back.
How about Art Blakey's "The Jazz Messengers" CD featuring Horace Silver, Hank Mobley, and Donald Byrd. It's on Columbia ... well recorded, with nearly every cut a winner. Familiar, yet timeless tunes mostly written by Mobley and Silver. Highly recommended.
