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?

captain beefheart "Trout Mask Replica"
what a masterpiece that most artist can only prey off of nowadays
Holy Cow!
just checked this out at local library- louis armstorng meets oscar peterson. A couple of the songs are from the recordings he made they made together with ella (she was not on those tunes. great songs, great singing, great playing but have a problem with blues in the night being sung as the male being done wrong.
two recent "discoveries" that I am greatly enjoying

James Blood Ulmer: Bad Blood In The City....with vernon reid. great modern blues dedicated to NO post Katrina. Not the harmolodic jazz that he is known for, but a very authentic take on the blues. A very underappreciated singer as well.

Alex Murdoch: Time Wihtout Consequence. Folk done intelligently. What a soothing yet expressive voice, with some nifty acoustic guitar work.
