Are you discovering new music?


Hi 

What I see here in common everyone discovers new releases of the known stuff, but no one here reports any new artists or any new unknown and obscure artists.

Yesterday I've discovered Thirsty Moon german prog band of early 70's and I was wondering how dafuk could I live without knowing this magnificent band that released only 5 albums and all 5 are extremely desirable. Prior to that, I've discovered Ryo Fukui -- an incredible Japanese jazz-rock artist of 70's.

I've also been discovering excellent today's artists such as:

Antoine Boyer -- multi-talented young guitarist from France

Leo Pelegrino -- Baritone sax player and leader of TMZ busking band. He also formed the unique style of Brass House music -- this guy talent is probably beyond Charlie Parker

Valery Stepanof -- probably the most bad-ass keyboardist ever on the planet

Tigran Hamassyan -- He's been a while and has also unique style progressive jazz-rock blended with Armenian folk tunes

and finally, Matteo Mancusso -- he is a continuation of RIP Allan Holdsworth!!!

What are your recent discoveries of new artists or artists not too many people know?

@whart you have great taste! And I like your train of thought there. I’ve been burned on chasing obscure for obscure sake… and left disappointed a lot. I’m gonna check out that Horace Tapscott you mentioned and I Love Cecil McBee.

I wish Chad/mofi would take more chances on non-popular records… seems like they tend to focus on the well known artists.
as for new artists I’m discovering this month?

King Floyd

Cosmic Eye (the whole Amancio D’ Silva catalog)

Marcos Valle (what a rabbit hole..)

 

This is through vinyl though. I have a hard time “discovering” through streaming.

 

 

I got into this hobby because of music and eventually became an audiophile but I am constantly looking for new music. There is so much good music that it is disconcerting sometimes as to how much I have missed whether new or old. Lately , my favorite new album is Everlasting Dance by the Tierro Band with Bridget Law on Octave Records. If you aren’t familiar with Octave Records they are part of PS Audio and can be purchased on their website. This album is one wild toe tapping ride. If you like Gypsy violin with a dash of flamenco guitar , rock underpinnings and a hint of tex/mex you will enjoy this album. As a bonus it is extremely well recorded.

@whart, Mainly or not, this site is also about tunes almost to the point of check-mate.

Here are a few of my favorites that are not real well known:

Tanakh / Ardent Fevers

Sparklehorse / It's a wonderful life

Bardo Pond / Dilate

Magik Markers / Boss
