Misha Panfilov – Momentum (LP)

$24.00

Mostly recorded in February 2022 at Tallinn’s Arts Academy basement and different travels to Berlin , London , NYC and Madeira, this album takes us back to the basement jazz sessions and private press records, without losing Misha´s characteristic sound. Accompanied by a quintet , the Estonian artist presents an album mainly working on the idea of blending jazz with minimalist and repetitive patterns to be able to focus on little nuances of the music. In the words of Misha "When the music consists of repetitive moments the listener has more time to focus on patterns (that can play with his mind). On "Momentum" it's framed into jazz rhythms and spiced with solos, to make it more accessible. It's a fantasy album, I wanted it to sound earthy and far out at the same time"

At the center of the ensemble, which consists of percussionists, woodwinds, and brass, is a wild-eyed gentleman, surrounded by a web of instruments. You fall slowly to the floor and stare up at the clouds on the hand-painted ceiling, as the band continues to perform mesmerizing vignettes that draw equally from the astral jazz of Coltrane, Sanders and Sun Ra, the minimalist repetition of early Terry Riley, and the hirsute, kaleidoscopic library stylings of Alessandroni.
