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?

Here's another one that listening to "Misia" brought to mind.

Azam Ali "Portals of Grace" on the Narada/World label.

It's a contemporary collection based on medieval Europe/other music.

Azam (the female vocalist) was born in Iran and raised in India.

Another interesting CD is the "Klezmer Nutcracker Suite" on the Newport Classic, Ltd. label. Eastern European jazz meets "The Nutcracker Suite".

Hadn't heard of Sonny Stitt until I was browsing in Reckless Records (Chicago). Picked up a near mint copy of "Kaleidoscope" and have been looking for more of his LPs ever since.
