	The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions \| The A.V. Club
		Silent Way is generally treated as a transitional effort between the groove-oriented late albums of Davis' remarkable '60s quintet and the groundbreaking fusion of Bitches Brew.
		The material, some of it remarkable, some of it raw and unfocused, and most of it previously unissued or consigned to odds-and-ends collections released during Davis' late-'70s recording hiatus, is interesting both in itself and in its relation to Silent Way.
		In its new context, Silent sounds less like a digression than a summation of Davis' instincts, and the instincts of his sidemen, at the time.

	The Silent Way Plus: The Search of a Method and Curriculum
		Silent Way is an approach to teaching foreign languages developed by Dr. Caleb Gattegno, based on a theory of learning and teaching rather than on a theory of language.
		Thus, the basically good approach of the Silent Way needs a plus, which the teacher can determine according to what kind of program she is running.
		Just as the Silent Way advocates that we start from what the student knows, from the sounds of their mother tongue that they produce effortlessly, we can make them aware about this fact.

	Ground and Sky review - Miles Davis - In a Silent Way
		I think that In a Silent Way is a great album and it is undeniably a watershed moment for Miles Davis and for the history of jazz in general.
		In the case of In a Silent Way, simple — almost static drum and bass patterns were established and the rest of the players were allowed ample freedom to improvise upon the melodic sketches shown to them by Davis just before recording.
		On In a Silent Way, over two hours of music was cut down to 80 minutes by producer Teo Macero; he and Miles together then reduced that 80 minutes to a mere 27.

		This appears to have much more in common with the way people learn their native language from a very early age, and can account for the way children come out with new language forms and combinations that they have never heard before.
		The most prominent characteristic of the method was that the teacher typically stayed "silent" most of the time, as part of his/her role as facilitator and stimulator, and thus the method's popular name.
		The Silent Way is also well-known for its common use of small colored rods of varying length (Cuisinere rods) and color-coded word charts depicting pronunciation values, vocabulary and grammatical paradigms.

		And, as with "in a Silent way," the opening theme is again repeated for emphasis and for a trance like feel.
		Without question on of the greatest lps ever made, "In a Silent Way" is new and fresh yet still very familiar and safe, as well.
		When I heard "In A Silent Way", I was expecting the same sort of music, not knowing anything about the fusion style Davis created in the 1960's-70's.

	Miles Davis - In a Silent Way and The Best of Miles Davis (Album Review)
		True, his musicianship was top-notch, as was his selection of musical collaborators, which included saxophonist Wayne Shorter, bassist Dave Holland, guitarist John McLaughlin, percussionist Tony Williams, and the triple keyboard attack of Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Joe Zawinul.
		But the original recordings sessions — which are replicated on The Complete Silent Way Sessions (a remarkable glimpse at the creative process) — lack the cohesive delicacy of the final document.
		In a Silent Way marked the beginning of a new era in jazz, though no one who followed ever found quite the blissful splendor of Davis and his crew.

	In A Silent Way Book Review
		In A Silent Way is logically divided into three sections, the first of which covers Zawinul's youth and early career in Austria, as well as his 1959 emigration to the United States and subsequent rise in the American jazz scene.
		Along the way, Barbara Burton gets long overdue credit for her percussion work on the first Weather Report album, Peter Erskine sheds light on what happened to the fourth side of live material for 8:30, and Zawinul provides the clearest picture yet of his initial encounter with the then relatively unknown Jaco Pastorius.
		As Glasser recently told me, "In A Silent Way was lots of fun to write, tracking down and talking to the great and the good from the various corners of his career.

	MILES DAVIS / THE COMPLETE IN A SILENT WAY SESSIONS
		With the release of The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions, featuring "all that was committed to tape on that day," these assertions have given way to the truth.
		On the title track, Miles threw away Joe Zawinul's chord sheets, transforming the keyboardist's original melody of "In A Silent Way" into a sublime electric mantra that was overwhelmingly beautiful and fresh.
		Without exception, the sense one gets from hearing the unfiltered music on The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions is that Miles and his partners had exceeded themselves, pushing beyond what they'd previously known as possible, discovering something something alive and electric, something spiritual—making it physical, making it stick.

	The Silent Way
		The idea that a foreign language could be learned by memorising lists of vocabulary and grammar rules and by continual reference to one's native tongue has been rejected by most teachers of foreign languages today.
		The presentation of a foreign language in a classroom is far from natural and it can only be learned in school by artificial methods constructed for the purpose.
		In a classroom a teacher is there to present what is to be learned in a highly controlled way, which is quite unlike the situation for babies, who are subjected to a flow of words knitted together by the sustaining meaning, and coming from the source as a whole.

	BBC - Jazz Review - Miles Davis, The Complete In a Silent Way Sessions
		This was the album which convinced the purists that Miles had pretty much given up jazz, though of course this was nothing compared with what was to come in the jagged landscapes of Bitches Brew or the wah wah soaked juggernaut funk of the mid 70s.
		The inclusion of an early rehearsal of IASW itself is instructive with Joe Zawinul's original airily beautiful chord structure still intact, before being pared down to a simple drone in the final version in one of Miles's usual strokes of casual genius.
		It's good music in its most comprehensive way, yet absolutely abstract.Davis this time precisely as the title goes, in a silent way makes it up to the art of music.

	Rolling Stone : Miles Davis: In A Silent Way : Music Reviews
		Miles has always gone his own way, a musician of strength and dignity who has never made the compromise (so poisonous to jazz now) with "pop" fads.
		Side two opens and closes with the best song on the album, a timeless trumpet prayer called "In a Silent Way." There has always been something eternal and pure in Miles' music, and this piece captures that quality as well as anything he's ever recorded.
		Between the two takes of "Silent Way" lies "It's About That Time," a terse, restrained space jam somewhat reminiscent of the one on the first side but a bit sharper, allowing more of Miles' fierce blues ethos to burn through.

	Junkmedia: Miles Davis : The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions
		It was the end of the legendary quintet of Miles Davis, Tony Williams, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter, but it was the beginning of the electric period, which introduced a new take on jazz and new musicians to play it.
		The three-electric piano/organ onslaught of Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul and Chick Corea was certainly a novel concept in jazz, and it's a line-up found on the majority of songs in the collection.
		In A Silent Way—the album and the sessions—was a move toward a focus on textures and layered sounds in jazz, and this required new approaches.

	Miles Davis : In a Silent Way - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Listening to Miles Davis' originally released version of In a Silent Way in light of the complete sessions released by Sony in 2001 (Columbia Legacy 65362) reveals just how strategic and dramatic a studio construction it was.
		If one listens to Joe Zawinul's original version of "In a Silent Way," it comes across as almost a folk song with a very pronounced melody.
		It's Miles and McLaughlin, sparely breathing and wending their way through a series of seemingly disconnected phrases until the groove monster kicks in.

		"In A Silent Way" is considered Miles first fusion album and the first in which he explored rock rhythms (that's debatable).
		1969's In A Silent Way is Miles Davis' first, and in my opinion, best foray into the world of fusion, a world that he hinted at with the prescence of electric piano on Files De Kilimanjaro.
		Unlike the heavy, brooding, and dissonant B-tches' Brew and the grating, rambling funk-jazz noodling that followed, In A Silent Way is eminently listenable and pleasant while still being far from ambient.

		But In a Silent Way remains a clearly electric jazz record, part ambient colour exploration, part rock-inflected energy and vibe, and part outright maverick creativity.
		In A Silent Way is much more lethargic and (I suppose) more ambient (though that's a rather broad assessment!!) work compared to its follow up, though a few of the more tense instrumental arrangements do point towards tracks like Pharaoh's Dance and Spanish Key.

	Tentative Review by The Christopher Currie: Miles Davis - In a Silent Way
		Either way, listeners were confused (and, in many cases, remain so unto the present age).
		In A Silent Way is a very unusual album, merging at least three different musical styles within its constitution.
		As the piece develops, each of the musicians are allowed to make their respective statements (Shorter's solo is notable for its melody), with culminates in the drums finally being released for a more complete psychedelic-jazz statement by the entire group (with Davis finally dominating the music).
