New CD's

[mudrummer99]

I have $20 freebie BB dollars to spend, I would like to pick up a couple CD's and my current collection is very limited due to the great flood of '06 (in my mother in laws basement) I would like some suggestions of more off the beaten path artists. My listening tastes are jazz, most anything but a smokin' trio is always appreciated, classic rock, modern rock, I find myself a big fan of Nickelback, 70's super groups like foreigner and chicago and such, and classical, as far as this I would also like a good reference recording for when i go speaker shopping later this month. Thanks as always for your wealth of knowledge.

Sounds like you need a bunch of CDs. Tough to narrow it down to just a couple.
Good Dog, Happy Man by Bill Frissell and Seven Veils by Robert Rich are two that I can't live without.

Have you taken a look through the "20 Albums You Should Own, But Probably Don't" thread? It's there for exactly your type of question.

I went and listened to clips of both recommendations at Amazon and put the Frissell CD in my basket, thanks!

I have a big basket at Amazon, my ears are bigger than my wallet, some guy at Amazon is probably frowning trying to figure out how to get me to complete the sale

Slightly Stoopid "Chronchitis"

It's among my favorite CDs released this year. Nicely recorded too.

Also highly recommend their CD "Closer to the Sun" ... probably my favorite from them:
