I just picked up a CD by Amos Lee. He has a voice that reminds me of a cross between Stevie Wonder and James Taylor. Some great simple acoustic cuts with solid vocals and terrific lyrics. Recorded on Blue Note doesn't hurt either. See it here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00070G6Y2/qid=1122852680/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/102-9552292-7800905
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?
