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?

a few . . .
Terence Blanchard "A Tale of God's Will (a requiem for katrina)". this is an amazing and haunting CD, especially the second cut "Levees"

Also, Terence Blanchard "Jazz in Film" is excellent. I'll be looking for more Blanchard releases soon.

I really like Trumpet led Jazz, and have picked up a lot of new stuff lately to complement my Mile Davis collection, including - Kenny Wheeler, Tomacz Stanko, Jon Hassell, Erik Trufaz, and others.

Kenny Wheeler "It Takes Two!" is outstanding, and features John Abercrombie - one of my favorite guitarists.

Finally, great call by Johnrob on "BETHANY AND RUFUS - 900 MILES". I picked this up based on his post above. I must say I'm as or more intrigued by what Rufus does with the cello as I am by Bethany's vocals, though she is excellent too.

If you like trumpet led jazz you might want to listen to Lester Bowie. Even though he does covers of pop(ular) songs, his play can be amazing. Take a listen to "The Fire this time" - one of my favorite live albums.
