Best sounding CD (or hi=rez). jazz releases?


Ahmad Jamal's Marseille sounds fabulous (great album too) and ECM always seems to produce good if not great  sounding recordings.  Can anyone suggest some recent j(or old) jazz releases for outstanding sonics?  thanks.

Sound Liaison´s new series of " One Mic Recordings" are outstanding.
I think they are in a class of their own.
Latest release is Reinier Voet and Pigalle44 but the albums with Carmen Gomes and the Feenbrothers are equally stunning.

The advantages of the One Microphone approach to recording are obvious; phase coherence, perfect imaging, great sense of depth, superior realism.
Another advantage is that it it forces the band being recorded to really play. There is nowhere to hide, no fixing it in the mix, so this is where it helps being a real band.

Reinier Voet and Pigalle 44 are just that; a real band, road tested, with years of experience playing clubs and concert halls all over Europe. When recording with one microphone the mix is done before we start to record.
We have to make the complete sound stage on the spot by carefully moving each instrument closer or further away as well as left and right in relationship to the microphone.
Reinier Voet & Pigalle 44 immediately understood the situation, and their great live experience made getting the sound just right a breeze.
