In A Silent Way (CD)

Customer Review

Miles pioneer, Miles boxer, Miles adventurer. I use the word "adventurer" deliberately because in ten years (1959-1974), the trumpeter was always looking for new sounds to successive groups. Thus, after the bop years (1947-1955), then hardbop (1955-1959) and modal (1959-1967), the Sorcerer Black will launch over the next five years in a jazz blurring the slopes between jazz, rock and merger. In a Silent Way is the cake which assumes that direction, with new concepts. This disc is for me a pearl, one of the jewels of Miles discography and Music with a big M. Registered months after Filles de Kilimanjaro, it marks a turning point in his career. A new management so a new path also. Here we have a work light, beautiful. Two topics just like a suite, stretching for nearly forty minutes. From the beautiful book, with unheard atmosphere, surprises to no end. This record is of course known to be in good disco respectable. And if the own to jazz landmarks are scrambled, is above all an unforgettable sound and musical experience.

From the outset the sounds of John McLaughlin (guitar) create a bewitching atmosphere. Borrowing from blues, his melodies are never aggressive, but overflowing with imagination, with just enough space and silence. Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Joe Zawinul (fender, keyboards and organ) offer a unique crystalline game, Wayne Shorter plays the soprano for the first time and it pretty well succeeded him (Steve Lacy said later in game terms, Wayne was really shiny). This is also the last record of Tony Williams within the collective miles. The drummer, remember, was impressed with the early 60. A real electric battery. Here, the game is different from the one he proposed in the second great quintet of Miles. More subdued but nevertheless impressive. It even offers very rock strikes and a surprising groove. Dave Holland's double bass and electric bass, and offers a huge support to the whole. Atemporal Music, if not universal, this drive is a nugget which one does can happen. Beyond of genres and partisans minds. A landmark in the music of the twentieth century. Or better: a meeting.

PS. His remastered. Fascinating liner notes Frank Glenn and John Ephland (former editor at Downbeat) Duration: Barely thirty-nine minutes, but what a hypnotic music ... A disc that will happen repeatedly without hesitation, to the delight our ear buds.
