Jj35 I also have the opportunity to hear those two pair of pioneer sub on Teajay system . I end up buying them too.Teajay was able to integrate them on his system beautifully as well.

Philosophy of the spiritual by Richard Davis. LP out of print but on Discogs sometimes.

Hands down, Nat Adderley’s, The Old Country. Featuring a young Vincent Herring on alto. Released on an obscure label in Japan only. The quintet is really really good, and the entire album is a masterpiece.

It’s been my go to recording for 35 years simply because the album was recorded so well and the music selections are so good.

I of course loaded the entire album on the tube.

Another is pianist Jessica Williams, Joy. Featuring the great Jay Thomas who doubles on Sax and Flugehorn It’s a live album with excellent acoustics Here’s Compassion from that album.

And a personal favorite, Jeannine from Adderley’s Old Country.

And, the great Bobby Shew’s, Breakfast Wine, never released to CD or digital, until I uploaded the album on the tube  :)
