I just uploaded Monster's Jazz test CD -

Looks like they only make the file available for a pre-set # of downloads, and the link expires after 7 days.
It's encoded @ 320K (mp3), and I do agree that only a lossless copy should be used with high-end audio system testing, but this will give you a chance to hear the tracks at a high enough resolution to make the determination to purchase a copy or not.
I also have Monster's Blues CD, the Sheffield Jazz Experience (highly sought after on amazon.com), and Sheffield 'Prime Cuts' I and II. All of them are great for testing - especially the Sheffield Jazz Experience.
