In a Silent Way
Miles the dresser, Miles the Boxer, Miles the bon vivant, Miles the pioneer. I use the word "Pioneer" because over the past decade (1960-1970) Miles has been ever searching for new sonorities, new ways of performing his music.

In a Silent Way (Instrumental)
Description Listening to Miles Davis' originally released version of In a Silent Way in light of the complete sessions released by Sony in 2001 (Columbia Legacy 65362) reveals just how strategic and dramatic a studio construction it was. If one listens to Joe Zawinul's original version of "In a Silent Way," it comes across as almost a folk song with a very pronounced melody. The version Miles Davis and Teo Macero assembled from the recording session in July of 1968 is anything but. There is no melody...

In a Silent Way may be the spaciest album Miles Davis ever made. Augmenting his quintet with guitarist John McLaughlin and electric pianist Joe Zawinul, Davis dispensed with individual songs of conventional length, instead having the band stretch out on four lengthy tracks. Despite the additional players, everything about the music is stripped-down: Harmony, rhythm, and melody become secondary to impressionistic texture. The intertwining tracks conjure up visions of the vast expanse of the cosmos...

|
|
|
There's nothing "silent" here -- as the album's a bold entry in the electric years of Miles Davis -- one that still features contributions from Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Tony Williams -- but which also expands the lineup considerably -- really reaching out towards the sound of Bitches Brew! Herbie's on electric keys here, working alongside Chick Corea and Joe Zawinul, who really help increase the flow of the tunes and enforce the "directions in music" stated on the cover of the set!

Disc two is where the In a Silent Way project begins in earnest. The next set is from the album issued in 1981 as Directions. The three tracks that comprise it reveal just how far Davis was willing to take the massive keyboard section. With slow, drifting, methodical improvisation concerned more with the development of sound and texture than riffs and intervals, the Davis group drifts through "Ascent," with Zawinul keeping the color hushed and silvery as Hancock improvises and Corea plays a series...

Miles Davis's famous mid-1960s quintet, featuring saxophonist Wayne Shorter and pianist Herbie Hancock, was intact until just a few weeks before his new, electric ensemble recorded In a Silent Way. Legendary as a kind of line in the sand challenging jazz fans during the ascendance of electric, psychedelic rock, In a Silent Way hinted at the repetitive polyrhythms Davis would employ throughout the early 1970s. It also partook generously of electric piano and bass and rekindled the tonal palette that...

Davis, Miles - In A Silent Way
Considered by many to be the first fusion album. This kicked off Miles' electric period and what a lineup: Miles Davis (trumpet), Wayne Shorter (soprano sax), Chick Corea (electric piano), Herbie Hancock (electric piano), Joe Zawinul (organ), John McLaughlin (electric guitar), Dave Holland (bass), Tony Williams (drums). With the exception of Holland all of these musicians played key roles in the fusion scene for years to come. Groundbreaking.
