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?

The "Duhks" self titled. A great canadian acoustic based group I just saw live at Suwannee Springfest. A nice blend of irish, bluegrass, soul & alittle funk thrown in for fun.

A "duhk" walked into a store and asked for a tube of chapstick. The clerk said, "that'll be .79." The duhk replied, "Just put it on my "bill". Quack,quack quack.

The next day the same duhk walked into the store and put a pack of condoms on the counter. The clerk said, "Do you want me to put these on your bill?" To which the duhk answered, "Now, just what kind of duhk do you think I am?"

The Duhks are great.

I have two that I have mentioned on other threads, but are worth mentioning again.

1. Hiromi - Brain. Excellent piano jazz. Hiromi's cd is entertaining, fun and different.

2. Christos Hatzis - Awakening. Awakening is a classical piece that explores the tension between an indigenous people and the technology of foreigners by using the sound of trains and Inuit chanting interwoven with the music of a string quartet. I found it a moving piece.

Mindy Smith, nice ballads. A young voice kinda like a young Dolly Parton but don't let that put you off, it's a VERY good album and I'm not a country music guy.
