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?

Ogsarg, CD Baby is great place to buy music. I had my first experience with them a couple of months ago and they are a pleasure to deal with. Just for fun an excerpt from their email:

Your CDs have been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with
sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.

A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make
sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing.

Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that
money can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party
marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of
Portland waved 'Bon Voyage!' to your package, on its way to you, in
our private CD Baby jet on this day, Monday, February 27th.

I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as "Customer of the Year". We're all
exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

Got to love that kind of service ;)

By the way, I ordered both Todd Sickafoose CDs based on Boa2's recommendation - excellent Jazz and highly recommended.

Enjoy!

I few new ones for me:

Pink Martini - "Sympathique", and "Hang On Little Tomato"
these guys defy categorization, a little Jazz, a little Latin, a little pop.

Deadman - "Our Eternal Ghosts"

Steve Tibbets - everything he's done. "Northern Song" is probably the best place to start. I bought "Exploded View" in 1976 and always liked it. Since It's on vinyl, I didn't listen to it for all of the '90s and up until 2 years ago when I bought a new turntable. I've since picked 5 more of his releases. Great, and unique combination of rythms (conga and tablas based percussion) and guitar.
