I am new to this forum and was amazed by the rapid response I got to my little question. Thanks.
As everyone is so positive about Cositas I’ll give it more time.
It was pointed out that the more I know about the traditional cannon the better I understand Paco’s stuff. Who would you recommend that might bridge the gap between the old and the new in a way that help someone like me, who has come to flamenco through the old guys (my first Flamenco recording was by Pepe Martinez followed by Paco Pena).

I would say: Paco [:D][:D]

Seriously, buy his dicography and start with his old recordings from 1965.
And step by step move forward to his newer recordings until 2004 Cositas ........and you will see how it all developed.

I am not sure you will like Cositas by listening to Paco's entire discography in chronological order, but it is something we should all be doing anyway. I think the real issue is whether you prefer traditional flamenco or more modern stuff.

I like Cositas a lot, but I wish Paco would make a new album of just him working with a singer and some hand claps. Like a live album in the studio. Every few albums though Paco does make a more traditional record to remind us all that he is the master of pure flamenco.

The trajectory Shroomy describes is exactly what I did more or less. I started with Ramon Montoya, Nino Ricardo and Sabicas. For at least a year every day just those three. Then someone said Paco Pena and Paco de Lucia's early stuff. From then I found Serranito and Sanlucar as well and finally Tomatito and Vicente. There have been other players in between as well, but for learning the foundation the original three masters are the way to go at first I think.
