Share some under appreciated jazz album titles

I’ve been on a journey to discover more older jazz albums deeper down the catalog that share two traits; I like/love the music and the recording shines, quite possibly unexpectedly. By that I mean, I probably have a bias that leads me expect recordings from the fifties and sixties to be less detailed or “audiophile” than more recent recordings. I’m finding this bias to be truly misguided to say the least. 
Please share some of your favorite lesser known jazz gems with both traits. To roll the ball…  Dave Brubeck “In Time”, Johnny Hodges “Not So Dukish” and “Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges”  

Yes, I’ve been on a Johnny Hodges kick lately 

happy listening everyone

I enjoy a lot Lew Tabackin ( i dont like flute a lot but Lew is a master not only on sax but on flute too and i love him ) and Toshiko Akioshi his wife band...

Better than many big band... Two underscored musicians...Like many Asian jazz artists...

I dont listen much to many female vocalists, but they are few exceptions in my list: try Youn Sun Nah a Korean female jazz singer ...

Glad this is not on the Jazz for Afficinados thread, even the title is pretentious, YMMV

I’ve been involved in the Jazz Aficionado’s thread for quite awhile and have never experienced it as pretentious. What I have experienced is a shared passion for Jazz. 

If you choose to "judge books by their covers", it’s entirely your loss.

Yes; I feel the same way about flute. I never cared for it in a Jazz context until I heard Tabackin.

Given your immaturity, perhaps it’s for the best that you stay away. 

More to discover
