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 have been listening a little bit of disc one of Aretha Franklin Queen in Waiting. I had no idea she recorded with jazz musicians at the start of her career at columbia.

Someone threw a track called "Silver Bell" by Patty Griffin on a compilation that got send to me. I immediately went out an bought Flaming Red, which is an awesome record--she shows incredible versatility, going from slow cynical songs to upbeat cynical songs. Er, maybe she's a bit cynical, but musically its a nice variety. I had never heard of her.

I'll also throw Down with Wilco by the Minus 5. If you liked Wilco's YHF, this one is in the same vein. It ought to be, I think all of Wilco shows up on the album. Kinda of like YHF-lite.
