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.

1. Dee Dee Bridgewater - Love and Peace, A tribute to Horace Silver
2. Ernestine Anderson - Never Make Your Move Too Soon
3. Charles Mingus - Mingus At Antibes
4. Horace Silver - Blowin' The Blues Away
5. Horace Silver - Song For My Father
6. Dee Dee Bridgewater - Eleanora Fagan, To Billie With Love
7. Oscar Peterson Trio - +One with Clark Terry
8. Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong
9. Gene Harris - The Best of the Concord Years
10. Houston Person & others - Jazz In An R&B Groove

Good places to start. Hard to go wrong with any Oscar Peterson or Horace Silver.

As bad as I hate to admit it, you got good taste in jazz; I have all of the artists and most of the albums.
