In a Silent Way is a 1969 album by jazz trumpeter Miles Davis. Although previous Davis records and live performances had already begun the shift to jazz fusion, In a Silent Way featured a full-blown electric approach. For this and other reasons, it is usually regarded as the first of his fusion recordings. It is also the first recording by Davis that was largely constructed by the editing and arrangement of producer Teo Macero.

  • In a Silent Way is a 1969 album by jazz trumpeter Miles Davis. Although previous Davis records and live performances had already begun the shift to jazz fusion, In a Silent Way featured a full-blown electric approach. For this and other reasons, it is usually regarded as the first of his fusion recordings. It is also the first recording by Davis that was largely constructed by the editing and arrangement of producer Teo Macero. Macero's editing techniques have incorporated elements of classical sonata form in Davis' recordings for In a Silent Way. Both of the extended tracks on the album consist of three distinct parts that could be thought of as an exposition, development and recapitulation. The last six minutes of the first track are actually the first six minutes of the same track repeated in exactly the same form. With this "trick" the track takes on a more understandable structure. The album featured virtuoso guitarist and newcomer John McLaughlin, who had one month prior to the February 18th In a Silent Way session recorded his classic debut album Extrapolation. At the request of Tony Williams, McLaughlin moved in early February from England to the US to play with The Tony Williams Lifetime. Williams brought McLaughlin to Davis' house the night before the scheduled session for In a Silent Way. Davis had not heard the guitarist before, but was so impressed that he told him to show up at the studio the next day. McLaughlin would go on to great fame in the 1970s as leader of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. According to producer Bob Belden, organist Larry Young, whom Williams had also recently hired for his Lifetime trio, was also intended to play on In a Silent Way. However, out of fear that he would lose his entire band to Davis, Williams sent Young home as soon as he arrived. Instead Joe Zawinul, who had come to the session only as the composer of the song "In a Silent Way," ended up playing organ on the album. Davis' next fusion album, Bitches Brew, showed him moving even further into the area that lay between the genres of rock and jazz. The dark, fractured dissonance of Bitches Brew ultimately proved to be instrumental in its success; it far outsold In a Silent Way. In 2001, Columbia Legacy/Sony Music released The Complete In a Silent Way Sessions, a three-disc box set which included the unedited recordings used to produce the original album, In a Silent Way as originally edited, and additional tracks. The Penguin Guide to Jazz has included In a Silent Way in its suggested "Core Collection."

  • In a Silent Way est un album de jazz fusion du compositeur et trompettiste de Jazz américain Miles Davis. Cet album a introduit un style musical nouveau, le Jazz fusion ou Jazz-rock fusion, qui sera affiné dans son album suivant Bitches Brew. In a Silent Way est aussi le premier disque de Miles Davis où le travail du producteur de Teo Macero prend une place importante dans la réalisation de l’album. Ce travail consiste en un collage d'extraits des prises originales pour aboutir au résultat final. La version d’origine est un LP contenant quatre longues compositions. Comme d’habitude Miles Davis s’est entouré de jeunes musiciens très brillants et qui plus tard feront carrière avec ce style de musique. Par rapport au groupe qui accompagnait Davis pour son album précédent, Dave Holland a remplacé Ron Carter, et surtout John McLaughlin et Joe Zawinul ont rejoint le groupe et ont fortement influencé le son avec leur guitare et piano électriques. Joe Zawinul est, en outre, le compositeur des deux morceaux phares de l' album "Shhh / Peaceful" et "In a Silent Way".
