Too many different periods/styles to pick just one, but to mix it up in this thread I will go with Agharta from the voodoo-funk-fusion era, recorded live in Osaka 1975:

I guess you could argue that this is the calm before the top went off the roof with Bitches Brew. Wayne is just genius.

Many moons since I spun Agharta, thanks for mentioning as problem solved!

Has anyone heard any of the 2022 & 2023 Remasters available at HDTracks? I just noticed them and wonder how they compare to the MFSL SACD’s. I’m specifically interested in: Nefertiti, E.S.P., and “Four” & More. I’d love to not purchase yet another copy of each, but the 25% off sale and 192/24 made me interested.
Your post generated an AP order for Bag’s. This one:

Let us know what you think of it once in hand.
I’ve had it for a few weeks. It’s fkkn killer. Still available from acousticsounds, I believe.
I have the vinyl version and killer indeed.
If you are into records the Analog Productions Quiet Kenny is also killer:

I’ve had that SACD a few years. Best sounding way I have to listen to this excellent session.

E.S.P. (Impex and MoFi); Kind of Blue (UHQR 45, Mastersound Gold CD and Classic 33): these two get played most often.

Nice to have options, but yes it’s a stand-out.
I entirely forgot about my Impex E.S.P., very nice sound.
