Track Of The Day: Miles Davis - In a Silent Way (Columbia)


There’s always one that’s forgotten, no matter how often its played or comes into the mind. This track carries so many memories within it that the music is secondary. For me its all about the mood and the various moments it creates. The intro has to be one of the most memorable. It’s the sound of a new day, but also all of the different elements which contribute to its evolution. It’s music being played in a different dimension. Elegant, evocative, imaginative and still ahead of its time. Nothing I can write about this track can add anything new to what has already been said. All I can do is recommend taking it into new situations and contexts in order to assert its power.
