Definitely look into, "Patricia Barber"- Modern Cool. As for Miles Davis. I have some 20bit recordings that sound pretty good. Sketches of Spain is available on SACD, though it is not a Hybrid SACD I can't really comment on it. I have some excellent John Lee Hooker & Muddy Water recordings. Fat Freddy's Drop is recorded quite well. Another I have that's recorded well is Aretha Franklin, Live at the Filmore. There are quite a few more out there...

Here's some other liks to get you started.

Are you looking for Redbook, SACD, or Vinyl as your source? I see in your system, you have Redbook/SACD - is this still correct?

If looking for SACD I recommend these two for sonic qualities and great music too:

Both on SACD:
Miles Davis' Someday My Prince Will Come
Art Pepper's Art Pepper + 11

FYI, I just picked up the new 20th Anniversary Chesky Records compilation, a 2 CD set. It's a superb collection of jazz, vocals, and some classical and blues. I suspect it might be available on SACD as well as Redbook CD.

I'd suggest looking at the "Recommended Recordings" section of this site under the JAZZ area...

Try Cassandra Wilson's albums. Especially Glamoured and New Moon Daughter. These two are reference albums for me.
