Nearly twenty years have passed since the death of Miles Davis, and forty since the release of one of his most important masterpieces: “ In A Silent Way”.
We have produced this new concept not so much as a commemoration of his life but to celebrate his essence: a force for change.
“About In A Silent Way”, is anti-memory, a rhizome, a process.
With “In A Silent Way” Davis took the leap, distancing himself in a decided way from acoustic and traditional jazz.
Davis loved the music of Jimi Hendrix, the sound of James Brown; and his vague and dream-like resonances in “In A Silent Way” came to be defined as tripping music. It would be both futile and banal to ask ourselves what today’s music owes to this revolutionary artist and this particular masterpiece.
More than answers, there are a multiplicity of questions; what would Davis be playing today?
And with whom? What other aesthetics would he have dreamed up?
One thing is certain and that is that Davis, throughout his artistic journey, tried to probe every accepted thought.
The quality of a work of art depends on the trajectory that it describes in the cultural scenery, from its capacity to make connections, to create a crossing with the contemporary.
With “In A Silent Way”, Davis and his quintet made of the art of improvisation and then of editing a crossover art, an art of “x-scape” from time, that resists every established limit, a sort of imprinting of a “communism” of forms.
Today, in “About in a Silent Way” we take up the challenge to emotionally concatenate with Davis in looking for a new world, because to us his work is like a multiple cultural process, an infinite palimpsest, a moving place of production, an art that doesn’t die out in its own interpretation, but multiplies itself in limitless other languages within its own language. To think current, that is the thrust.
And what is more current than recalling war in the title of the piece that opened Davis’ record of forty years ago?
“Shhh Peaceful”. It would seem that time has stood still if today we can still hear the bombs resounding in our consciences; “In A Silent Way” is perhaps the silent road that Davis wanted to suggest to us when thinking in terms of the web of systems that enshroud states, globalized politics, uniformity of opinion, to build a level of complexity where different types of existential creativity can continue to exist, escaping from a kind of generalized programme that completely wipes out every possibility of bifurcation and singularization.
Today, with “About”, we aim to build a bridge between different generations of “About” and “In A Silent Way”, to propose a sound-climate for our time, to examine ourselves on the crossover zone between jazz and electronic, where before us Davis courageously found a form of jazz for the future.
