There are a lot of great recordings to listen to for great lead playing. Some of my favorites are:

Stan Kenton - 76 - There is some fantastic, FAT, lead playing on that album
Doc Severinsen and the Tonight Show Band - Pretty much anything by them is going to be solid
A lot of Sinatra's Recordings had great lead playing on it
Harry Connick Jr's Band has great lead playing
Maynard Ferguson and the Birdland Dreamband (old recording)

That's just the tip of the iceberg and specifically, the tip of my iceberg. Everyone has their own opinion of what good lead playing is. These are just some of my favorites.
