In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

Two sprawling compositions anchor this record, creating a meditative flow. Producer Teo Macero utilized edited tape to splice improvisations into the looping structures heard here.

Electric guitars and pianos take the lead, marking a departure from traditional jazz. This experiment resulted in a spacious, modern sound that established a new direction for the fusion movement.
