Higher resolution Jazz


I'm starting to get more into Jazz music since watching some documentaries on Jazz on Netflix but it seems like all of the older Jazz recordings are of poor quality; can you guys recommend some artists and albums where the recording is of a higher quality?

Thanks!!

Here's something that was an absolute truth for me. Older Jazz records (early '60's and before) suffered from a lack of bass content. To my ears, most acoustic Jazz recordings (virtually all of them) seemed to have had this muddy bass 'presence' but lacked in definition, melody, and impact. It truly wasn't until I got into better gear (namely, turntables) that I realized the bass was there all along!!
