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?

I've been playing Jimmy Smith's "Dot.Com Blues" a lot lately. Man, that Hammond B3 Organ just fills up the room with sound!!! Also, great guest artist on this one, including Etta James, Dr. John, Keb' Mo, Taj Mahal and BB King. This is a great Jazz/Blues record and the recording is very good.

Also just got Karrin Allyson's "In Blue" and think it is great. The first track "Moanin'" is AWESOME!!

So many great recordings, so little time...............

Enjoy,

Dave Brubeck Quartet "Park Avenue South" recorded live on July 2002 at the Park Avenue NY Starbucks. Boy I wish the local Starbucks in my area could afford acts like that!! :-)

I bought a cd called "Umbrellas" by a 60's group called THE FREE DESIGN. Kind of psychedelic folk pop. At times very trippy, other time kind of corny but in a sincere kind of way. They do a lot of covers like "Happy Together,
"Feelin' Groovy" and "Eleanor Rigby" and a lot of original songs. This recording is ok. I have two of their other albums titled "Bubbles" and "Raindrops". Of the three "Raindrops" has the best sound quality, but the other too arent far behind. They were produced by Enoch Light and the sound is marvelous. Check them out if you can.
