Like a fine wine, Russian-born and New York-based pianist Misha Tsiganov, seems to improve with age. His music continues to evolve and his creativity hits a high spot with Painter Of Dreams. He has appeared on countless albums over the years and has played with such musicians as Wynton Marsalis, Bobby Watson and Michael Brecker. His ability to shift tempos and mix meters in his compositions has always been notable. Recent work with the Romanian Radio Big Band has also honed his arranging skills, broadening his tonal soundscape.

Misha Tsiganov: Painter Of Dreams

Two never-heard-before albums are featured in this edition of OMJ. The first is from a saxophonist many considered overlooked for the list of great saxophonists: Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre whom Anthony Braxton considered the next great saxophonist after Coltrane. The album features Kalaparusha and quartet playing a set at Studio Rivbea in New York during the Loft Scene in July 1975. The second new recording happened 29 years later in Munich in 2004. The brilliant trumpet player and innovator, Tomasz Stańko, accompanied by the young Marcin Wasilewski Trio provides a typically brilliant Stanko performance. Coincidentally, one of Stanko's friends and mentees, also has a new release: Tomasz Dabrowski and his band the Individual Beings. You'll hear a couple of tracks from that album. Other new releases sampled come fromDream Big Fish from Europe, English pianist Pat Thomas & Bley School, Portuguese trumpeter Gonçalo Marques, and a re-release by the much-revered Australian saxophonist Sandy Evans in a series of duets on RockPoolMirror.

The palette of Duke Ellington, jazz's first notable colorist—and arguably its greatest—drew on a range of instrumental hues that might still be unmatched in jazz history. Picking one as the essential pigment in the Orchestra's sound is a fool's errand. But here goes: it was Harry Carney's baritone saxophone, without which the Ellington sonic signature is inconceivable. So it makes perfect sense that Brian Landrus, a baritone specialist, drew from the deep well of Ellingtonia for Plays Ellington and Strayhorn (Palmetto Records/Blue Land, 2024). "Agra," an often-overlooked movement from 1967's "Far East Suite," was a feature for Carney's burly and bighearted lyricism, but Landrus' reading is more tender than tough. The arrangement for a fragrant ensemble of woodwinds, all played by the leader, is lovely, but the most outstanding contribution comes from the peerless Billy Hart, a Washingtonian whose atmospheric mallet work recalls Sonny Greer and Sam Woodyard, and just might be overseen by the shade of his hometown's—and America's—most distinguished musical son.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime.
