Your favorite recent discovery


What Group or Artist have you discovered in the last few months? Doesn't have to be a new artist, just new to you.
Looking for some ideas.

Breaksta Vol 2.....funk groove w/ jazz elements and hip-hop from San Fran. check it out!
Some recent good pick ups in fusion (for the lack of a better description), all sourced from abstractlogix.com which specializes in this stuff. If you like fusion, instrumental chops etc...a very good source for hard to find discs.

Ray Riendeau & Joe Morris: Groove Therapy:
Mysteries of the Revolution: Mysteries of the Revolution
Jim Weider: Percolator
Ed Degenaro: Dog House
Adam Holzman and the Brave New World: JazzRocketScience

as well as two difficult to find CDs from better well known artists
Ginger Baker Trio: Falling Off The Roof (with Bill Frisell and Charlie Haden)
and ...one that I didn't know existed, but is amazing
Jack Bruce & Robin Trower: Seven Moons
some more recent discoveries

female vocals
Sara Tavares: Balance: jazz tinged latin done tastefully
Esperanza Spalding: get this...jazz based, sh palys the acoustic double bass while singing

other stuff
Nik Bartch's Ronin: Holon: European jazz, atmospheric, somewhat intellectual in approach
DJ Shadow: new album The Pirvate Press doesn't dissapoint and clearly shows why he is at another level to other DJs
Lettuce: Rage....if you like funk, u gotta have this. get down!
The Duke Sprit: Neptune...can be pretentious but i like it: brit cool rock influecned by the early 70s but modern
Yoav: acoustic gtr based, influences of chill, sorta like Bon Iver but more intense
