Verve records - Getz/Gilberto [Original recording reissued][Original recording remastered] available from Amazon.com. A little chesty in places but if you have a pair of M3s, a good sub and a tube amp, welcome to audio heaven.
Chesky makes some jazz samplers.
Audio Fidelity's re-release of Groove Note recordings.
Eric Dolphy's 'Out to Lunch.' 'Monk's Dream,' 'Kind of Blue,' 'Sketches of Spain'
That ought to get you started.
Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.

Picked up Miles Davis "some Kinda Blue". Excellent. Really well recorded as well. Also picked up some Mark Knopler.
I will be working my way through some of these selections soon.

And anything by Wayne Shorter is always fabulous.
Do you have any specific recordings to recommend? I enjoy his contributions to Davis' 60's quintet but I have not purchased any of his albums from his own band.

Thanks CV. What is a clock master and what is clock degradation? If you or any others know this, I would love to know. I hear about clocks and jitter often, but I never knew exactly what was meant.

If you're in the mood for something less traditional but not quite "free", check out the Esbjorn Svensson Trio (e.s.t.). The founder of the group was sadly killed in a diving accident a couple of years ago, but the trio has left an amazing recorded legacy. My fave is "Good Morning Susie Soho", but it's terribly hard to find. For an excellent mix of groove/jazz, check out MMW (Medeski Martin & Wood) or The Bad Plus. Both have done some very interesting covers, are a real blast to see live, and have uniformly excellent sounding recordings. In fact, I have been using MMW's "End of the World Party" as a reference disc for speaker design for years!

I'm going to have to check those out. I've heard of MMW and the Bad Plus, but I don't think I have any of their stuff.

davidsch, the clock determines each time when the recorded analog waveform is sampled, as well as the time at which each sample is played back to reproduce the original waveform. Any deviation from a regular period in either recording or playback is jitter and will result in distortion, but the distortion isn’t harmonic and the result can be more objectionable than harmonic distortion. Having a stable, quiet clock is important for recording and playback, but for playback we often have separate sources and DACs which each have their own clocks that have to remain synchronized through clock recovery.

Thank you for that explanation ChrisF and thank you Terry for the Wayne Shorter recommendations. So much to learn from this helpful group.
