This is one great album! Miles has made so many classic and essential LPs that it's truly scary! "Silent Way" is no exception. This LP was the one that preceded "Bitches Brew" (another milestone album), and is a wonderful precursor to it. The moody grooves are not as dark and dense as "Bitches Brew", but are equally compelling, if not more so. Put it on and let it play... you will not be skipping any tracks on this disc! One of my 5 favorite Miles Davis LPs, and I recommend it without reservation. As the banner on the album states: "Directions In Music By Miles Davis"... That's no understatement here, that's for sure!! God, I love this CD. Thank you Miles.
