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 was going through a hundred or so LP's at a local thrift store recently, when I found a record of the70's British prog rock band Renaissance. I was a major prog rock fan during my teens, but I always overlooked this great band in the record bins with this incredible female vocalist named Annie Haslam. I can not begin to tell you how regretable it feels to have missed out on hearing such a wonderful singer for the past 35 years of my audiophile life. Annie still sings today and has new CD's available. To learn more about her you can go to her website at www.anniehaslam.com. Check out her art work too.

My brother gave me his record collection he had from the 70's and 80's and asked me record them on to CD's... One of the LP's in the collection was a funky-jazz album by Ramsey Lewis called Tequila Mockingbird from 1977. If you enjoy this type of electric-funky-jazz style music from the late 70's, played by real musicians playing real bass guitar and drums with out sequenced synthetic tracks in the mix, you will love this recording produced by Larry Dunn
