Miles Davis - In A Silent Way (Vinyl)

Descriere

E acel gen de album care iti da incredere in viitorul muzicii ( Rolling Stone). Nu e nimic gen stereotip pe acest album, e ceva ce transcende genurile utilizand instrumente si device uri din toate genurile si culturile, totul definit prin emotie si originalitate profunda.In A Silent Way, inregistrat in 1969, marcheaza o cotitura nu numai in cariera lui Miles dar este un moment important si pentru jazz in general. Acest album este considerat primul disc de muzica de fuziune si el testeaza cumva tensiunile latente care marcau jazzul acelei perioade si relatia acestei muzici cu tehnologia."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 color 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
