What's your latest "Discovery"

You know when you buy a new album and it just clicks?! And then you have to play it rather frequently in the mix over and over for the next several days....What's the last album's you bought that really clicked for you?

I just picked up a Jazz trio album that is just a wonderful recording and performance:

It's called "Achirana" on ECM (that label seems to have a lot of great discs!). Vassilis Tsabroplulos, Piano. Arild Andersen, Double-Bass. John Marshall, Drums. Love the 5th cut! That double bass is right there in the room!

Also been enjoying a new classical guitar disc: Julian Bream, "The Ultimate Guitar Collection" on BMG. Great double-disc set. Not that crazy about the recording on this one, but the performance and breadth of the tapestry of work on those two CD's is remarkable.

Any new "discoveries" to share?

Larry Coryell Tricyles: his constant back & forth btwn fusion and st ahead jazz finally merges well in this trio format
Vital Information: Where Do We Come From: shows that all is not lost in fusion
Mofro: Lochloosa: incredible! southern funk from white boys, mostly acoustic
Jon Cleary: keyboardist for Bonnie Raitt: down & earthy r&b, funk, jazz
Madeline Peyroux: Besse Smith soundalike but not just imitation: puts Norah Jones to shame in a big way
Junior Brown: country music meets Hendrix!

The Volebeats Solitude CD. The instrumentals I can only desctribe as Country Surf Guitar music.

Also digging the Detroit Cobras. Mink Rat or Rabbit release. Fun old school garage band sound.

The Devil Makes Three is another band that's interesting. Sort of Generation X folk music with an attitude.

And The Shins, Chutes Too Narrow CD continues to get regular play. I'm not tiring of this one at all.
