Amazon.co.uk Review
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 had explored famously with Kind of Blue. But In a Silent Way remains a clearly electric jazz record, part ambient colour exploration, part rock-inflected energy and vibe, and part outright maverick creativity. Davis takes many long, breathy solos, and they glisten in a burnished blue against his new group's strange admixture of musical moods. --Andrew Bartlett

Beautiful music May 21, 2001

This is simply glorious music. John McLaughlin's guitar playing at the beginning of track 2 is pure beauty. Miles himself plays less on this record than most of his others, but his influence can be felt echoing around the music. There are also hints on McLaughlin's music in this CD. Simple, open and spacious are all perfect descriptions of the tracks. My favourite moment is on "Shh/Peaceful" when Tony William's drums stop for a moment, leaving Wayne Shorter's saxophone floating through. Wonderful.

At the time of release in 1969,this was Miles'first major foray into the Jazz/Rock fusion mode, an area where he had merely dabbled before.Unlike some Jazz/Rock of this era,this album has aged remarkably well. Miles has a supporting band of truly top musicians playing a funky electric music that washes over you in friendly atmospheric waves. This music has been described as 'Space' music where the spaces in the sparing performances contribute as much as the actual notes played.Others have said it is'spaced-out' music.Whatevever,the playing is tight but the improvisation is genuine and truly free of all restraints.This is an album that improves on repeated listenings and is well worth exploring.
