Reviews ~~~~~~~ By Matt Collar https://www.allmusic.com/album/painter-of-dreams-mw0004307403 A bright light on the New York jazz scene since he immigrated from Leningrad in the early '90s, pianist Misha Tsiganov plays the kind of jazz that blends the influence of players like Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, and McCoy Tyner; jazz steeped in the tradition, but with an ear for daring, motivic harmonies and sounds pulled from outside the acoustic idiom. On his fifth album for Criss Cross, 2024's Painter of Dreams, Tsiganov is joined by longtime collaborators trumpeter Alex Sipiagin, bassist Matt Brewer, and drummer Johnathan Blake. He also brings along special guests, including tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, alto saxophonist Miguel Zenon, and vocalist Hiske Oosterwijk. Although he has composed in the past, the album is Tsiganov's first to feature primarily his own original compositions.
