In A Similarly Silent Way

Yup but I still listen to Miles too, despite the latter's own personal shit

Huh. I didn’t know that. I guess he might be responsible for Van Morrison giving a special thanks to L Ron Hubbard in the liner notes to Inarticulate Speech of the Heart.

i ask this mostly from a place of ignorance because my knowledge of both groups is very superficial-
what about some of isotope 217 + chicago underground duo stuff?

(also kinda want a similar discussion for bands/albums/songs that rip bitches brew because have ya'll heard vitamin f by fontanelle? if yer gonna rip something off, that's how it's done!)

Vitamin F is great; if you like that, I also recommend checking out Vibration Black Finger's Blackism.

will do ty!

also kind of answering my own question, here's the chicago underground duo doing a sorta sparse miles/gil evans mood-

"red gradations" (2000)

that's great.

Not to make it weird, but the 10-piece jazz-adjacent band I lead just released a record from our first pro-studio session, where the keyboard player had access to a nice Rhodes--accordingly, maybe this back half of the 15-min B-side on it where that Fender Rhodes playing is most prominent is the one time we ventured In A Similarly Silent Way? Curious as to what ILMers might think, and if it isn't your bag, then no biggie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0iL6kAol3I

(Ah, the timestamp didn't seem to work--Rhodes-prominent Kinda Silent Way section starts at around 7:05)

not to make it weird, but this is really excellent music imo

Cheers! Thank you for typing that--I'd also rec one of the horn players in the band, Brodie West's Eucalyptus for a more properly-pedigree'd actual jazz group (I OTOH am musically illiterate/need to hire a bandmate who is an arranger to make 'real' charts) with half of these same players in it: https://brodiewest.bandcamp.com/track/squiggly-line

Brodie also has a quintet that's less groovy/with more jagged rhythmic edges to it (am trying to keep these specific track selections at least very vaguely Silent-Way-y, sorry for thread derail): https://brodiewest.bandcamp.com/track/fortress
