OK, I appreciate the white flag. Plz understand, it's not WHAT you say, but HOW you say it that disturbs me. You don't care for Coltrane? Fine, not everybody does. You like Wynton? Great! So do I. As a Jazz-lover I worry about the kind of statements you make being detrimental.
Junglern Since you asked for vocals 4/5 are vocal recordings. 1-Roberta Gambarini-Easy to Love-Best pure jazz vocalist to emerge in the past 10 years. 2-Susannah McCorkle-How do you Keep the Music Playing-No flash or trash here, just no nonsense vocals with perfect diction. 3-Joe Williams-Nothing but the Blues-Quite possibly his best recording ever. 4-Rare Silk-New Weave-Favorite jazz vocal group recording. Out of print but well worth the cost of obtaining it. 5-Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers-Keystone 3-Branford and Wynton Marsalis are sublime on this recording. All 5 recordings are sonically above average. With the McCorkle and Williams recordings being reference level.
