Misha Panfilov - Skyways (2025) [Hi-Res]

The album Skyways by the Misha Panfilov Septet is described as a record that unfolds gently and slowly, evoking the feeling of beauty forming and fading in real-time. Recorded in Tallinn, this third release by the ensemble blends spontaneity with deep harmony. It features two long pieces, "The Sky for You and I" and "Fine and Dandy," both of which begin quietly but gradually build to a collective lift-off before dissolving. The music conveys a sense of deep trust and unity among the seven musicians playing as one, which reflects Misha Panfilov's approach to improvisation as a communal effort. The album belongs to the spiritual jazz tradition—being searching and open—yet possesses a distinct stillness where notes hover just long enough to be felt. The music moves with its own meditative rhythm.
