On Miles' (not so) Silent Way

Click the play button to listen

On 30 July 1969 Miles Davis released In a Silent Way. After influencing generations of musicians, its tracks continue to sound as modern 50 years later as when they were first recorded.

This week we celebrate the musical trail blazed by that seminal album by focusing on musicians that have embraced Miles' electric legacy.

Happy listening!
