What more can be said about the greatness of Misha Panfilov that we haven’t already stressed here at Nostalgia King? And with the release of his latest LP “Atlantico” which has finally hit shops worldwide, his sound goes even deeper as does his discography of amazing music.
The music of Misha Panfilov just gets deeper and deeper with each new release – and here, he’s light years away from the funk of his earlier sets, and much more in the realm of spiritual jazz! The set’s got a vibe that’s almost in the Carlos Nino side of the spectrum, but which also resonates strongly with Misha’s amazing sense of sound – served up by a group that features Misha on guitars, keyboards, organs, harpsichord, ngoni, and a whole host of other elements – joined by the trumpet of Rafael Andrade, tenor of Francisco Aguilar, bass of Ricardo Dias, and drums of Francisco Coelho. Tunes are long and carry elements of Brazilian and other global styles – but often in a way that evokes cinematic modes too, although things are much deeper than any sort of easy soundtrack reference to such styles. The whole album’s a masterpiece of beauty that we never would have expected from Panfilov a few years back – and titles include “Vertical”, “Alegria Em Movimento”, “Caleidoscpopio”, “Domingo Magico” and “Para O Sol”. – Dusty Groove
