I know there are a few TAS jazz afficionados, so I would appreciate it if you could make some equally well recorded vinyl recommendations along the same kind of musical lines as Brubeck
Huge selections of jazz vinyl by the Audiophile labels & AAA analogue
Brubeck famous one - Time out 45rpm analogue productions is the best version by a country mile
& speaking of AP this is one of the best sounding LPs EVER , Duke Ellingtom Masterpieces

Since Brubeck was a pianist, you might consider two excellent piano albums: The Oscar Peterson Trio - 'Night Train'Erroll Garner - 'Concert by the Sea'Chris I am loving the Erroll Garner - the tunes and musicianship is quite superb ... |

Holly Cole has a great voice, and listen to the bass work.

Trouble is, there's no-one quite like Brubeck! I reckon we could point you to all sorts of goodies though Jules. Chris, if your into Brubeck, have you come across live at Park Avenue, it's a recording Starbucks brought out, got to be my all time Brubeck favourite |

No, I've never heard it. I shall have to investigate, thanks. It was recorded in a Starbucks coffee shop, so you can hear the public in the background , and if you know where to listen you can hear the subway train beneath them. it is BRILLIANTLY recorded with lots of big , full and sometimes dirty bass lines with loads of spacial presence with a rich tone to the whole album. It is by far his best work in my opinion. Its not that easy to find but you can usually find it on eBay, buy it and enjoy.  |

Since you mentioned Brubeck, you might like Bill Evans - hugely influential jazz pianist. There's really nothing not to like, but a good place to start is his early albums on Riverside:
New Jazz Conceptions (1956)
Everybody Digs Bill Evans (1958)
Portrait in Jazz (1959)
Explorations (1961)
Sunday at the Village Vanguard (1961)
Waltz for Debbie (1961)

A good one to start that is well recorded and has lots of swing is this I often use this when testing out a system I've had this album for a couple of years now just finished listening to it tonight. It is a well recorded album, it is very very tight rythem jazz album which is very propulsive with some fantastic drumming and bass lines. My wife doesn't like it she thinks it sounds like restaurant music but she doesn't like most of my albums. Very musical indeed these guys can really play and the whole album starts and stops on a penny |

I agree. John introduced me to it and it is all those things. A great experience, and very tight.

Thanks to all for the many suggestions and I've found a few things I would like to buy already.
The jazz vinyl situation appears to be a bit like the quandry of buying classic rock lp's, with three options -
- try and find a near mint original
- buy one of the cheaper 180g re-releases, many of which will be mastered from cd; not my preferred option
- spend a small fortune on pure AAA re-releases
I'll most likely hold out for originals where possible.
