Day 0146 - In a Silent Way

Miles Davis "In a Silent Way" (1969)

 
This one has been on my 'to check out' list for a while. I tend to buy Miles' albums, er... sound unheard, so this is a rare case of doing some research first.

It's a nice bit of fusion-jazz with some great atmospheric moments, and lovely textures.  It totally lives up to its name much of the time with it's gentle minimalism, interspersed with flights of jazzy fun within, yet feels more focussed than his rambling fusion albums like 'bitches brew' and 'big fun'.
