Flim & the BB's Tricycle or Big Note. These recording were released in the early years of the Compact Disc. A review and the history behind these recordings 27 years after their release may be of interest to younger audiophiles.
Here are some ideas:

John Coltrane "Lush Life"
Thelonius Monk "Monk's Dream"
John Coltrane "Standard Coltrane"
Horace Silver "Paris Blues" (Live)
Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Roy Hargrove "Directions in Music" (Live)
The Miles Davis Quintet 1965-68 (Box Set)
Miles Davis & John Coltrane "The Complete Recordings" (Box Set) - not every disc sounds great but enough to make it worthwhile
John Scofield & Pat Metheny "I Can See Your House From Here"
Weather Report "Live and Unreleased"
Gonzalo Rubalcaba "Discovery, Live at Montreaux
Eva Cassidy "Live at Blues Alley"
Horace Silver "The Stylings of Silver"
Wes Montgomerey "Full House" (Live)
Isaac Hayes "Shaft Soundtrack" (jazzy)
John Coltrane "Giant Steps"
I will suggest two classical peices and one jazz recording.
The Carnegie Hall Concert by Evgeny Kissin and James Levine of piano music for four hands by Shubert (RCA Red Seal)is beautiful music beautifully recorded.
The Mieczyslaw Horszowski recording at age 94 of the Fantasia in D minor by Mozart and other peices by Chopin and Debussy and Beethoven is also an excellent solo piano recording.(Nonesuch 79160).
Anthony Wilson and 3 other guitarists have a wonderful new jazz peice called Seasons - Live at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It has original music and covers and is very well recorded.
