Miles Davis In A Silent Way

The game of hypotheses in jazz is mind-bending; just think that Miles didn't make an album with Hendrix for nothing, just because Jimi was in a hurry, um, to leave. I get chills just imagining an album with Garbarek... Anyway, from my last listen at 0:39, I received confirmation, if there was still a need for it, that In a Silent Way is an absolutely nocturnal album, like those works that shine best in low light; tonight I will replicate.

Evanescent like nothing else, unfinished like the great unfinished symphonies. Immense McLaughlin, since it hasn’t been said yet, what else to say, I’m putting it now, at 0:39 on a rainy Saturday night.

The final quote is splendid; few films have spoken so inspiredly about hunger.

I saw it; I remember that I even went through convoluted means to get the map of the film's locations, impressed by the poignant tale of the city and its underground. Pasolini superstar, a film that I would watch again immediately, a review abundant and flavorful, geometric and round.

Mom, how many illustrious names in this review, a conference of stars! I confess that at one point I got lost and my imaginary ears went haywire, but now my curiosity is truly high, if only to breathe in some Berlin air. Beautiful.

I reread a bit of the genesis of BB; in fact, I already knew the story but had pushed it aside. Praise to Macero, but that doesn't change the artistic value of the album by even a hair. BB was a collective work, certainly a patchwork, made of sound monads of stellar worth, with the majestic direction of Davis and Macero. The rest is a matter of taste; once I thought that Davis's electric phase was a blasphemy compared to that of Blue in Green & co., today they seem to me like two sides of the same genius, and the latter is the one I feel closer to, but it’s just a matter of personal preference. Now I'm going to listen to Miles Smiles again, if you don't mind.

I like Black Flag and Royal Trux, but also prog, as long as it's good stuff; let's leave the genres to the deli guy. Great review, the album goes straight to my download list. Not to the purchase list, because VDGG has never fully convinced me, apart from the immense Pawn Hearts.

I also have the complete sessions of Bitches Brew; once I have 4-5 hours free, I'll listen to them all in one go. It's interesting what you say and it encourages me to further explore the subject, but from what I hear coming from my speakers, the BB collective led by the Divine Miles has created the pinnacle of music, at least of contemporary music. However, I will delve deeper; I'll see you at my next review (alas, a duplicate) of BB. Saludos.

I'm sorry I can't join the discussion about the album, which I remember too little to speak about properly. As for the luminous artistic parabola of Miles, here's my take: I believe the peak was reached with Bitches Brew. There, Davis was hyper-human.
