in a silent way/it's about that time

one of my fave rekkids of all time is miles davis' ambient masterpiece in a silent way. here's a snippet of miles playing "it's about that time" from that alb with his "lost quintet" -- wayne shorter (tenor), chick corea (electric piano), dave holland (bass), and jack dejohnette (drums) at ronnie scott's club in london, 11.2.69.



and here's miles near the end, reunited with wayne shorter and joe zawinul, playing "in a silent way" (with zawinul playing all the chords miles edited out!) and "it's about that time" in paris, 1991.
