  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?

Some recent CDs buys we've been digging: vintage soul packages on the British Kent label including collections of the Knight Brothers (60's singles originally on Checker) and the Ikettes (Ike recorded them in the 60's without Tina for singles on Modern), and collector Dave Godin's "Deep Soul Treasures" vols. 1 & 2. Also no-label comps of Alvin Cash & The Crawlers ("Twine Time", 60's singles originally on Mar-V-Lus) and The Detroit Emeralds (late-60's/early 70's sides on Ric-Tic and Westbound).

Some recent vintage vinyl finds include the film soundtrack LPs from "The Swinger" (Ann-Margaret), "Charade" (Mancini), "Thunder Alley" (V/A including Davie Allan & The Arrows of "Wild Angels"/"Devil's Angels" biker-flick fame, though producer Mike Curb, who frequently used them as his house rock band, doesn't credit them here, as he often did not), and an beautifully authentic-looking Japanese '81 gatefold reissue of the '66 swinging London classic "Blow-Up" (Yardbirds, Herbie Hancock).

Also original press jazz LPs including: Harold Land (tenor) "West Coast Blues" [Jazzland, with Wes Montgomery, Barry Harris, Sam Jones and Louis Hayes]; Milt Jackson "Born Free" [Limelight, with Jimmy Heath, Cedar Walton, Mickey Roker and Walter Booker]; The Jazz Crusaders "The Thing" [Pacific Jazz]; Kenny Burrell "The Tender Gender" [Cadet]; Freddie McCoy (vibes) "Peas'n'Rice" [Prestige]; Mose Allison "Takes To The Hills" [Epic].

And as always many old 45's, including the hyperkinetic original version (pre-Little Richard's hit) of "Good Golly Miss Molly" by composer Bumps Blackwell's band The Valiants [Keen, '57], and Wilson Pickett's first band The Falcons' "I Found A Love" b/w "Swim" [Lu Pine '62, backed by The Ohio Untouchables, who later evolved into The Ohio Players], which is signed by its presumptive original owner, one Paul Simon, who of course I'd like to think is *the* Paul Simon... :-)
