In A Similarly Silent Way

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

craig, does you ilx mail work?

craigfraid at the googlemail should do the trick!

great thanks!

cosign this is great!

Terje Rypdal’s. “ What Comes After” from 1974 has boodles of Bitches Brew/Silent Way vibe with some of that icy ECM atmospherics.

I had heard this record a few times years ago and pulled it out this morning and thought it sounded pretty good to me. Definitely going to give it some more listens.

Sounds good to me this morning, thanks for the recommendation

The second track on that LP reminds me a bit of early Tangerine Dream. It is a pretty far out record for 1973 as parts of it sound near ambient music too.

The self-titled Terje Rypdal one on ECM from 1971 is supposed to be pretty good too, which I have on my internal list to check out.

The first four Rypdal albums on ECM: s/t, What Comes After, Whenever I Seem to Be Far Away, and Odyssey, are all great. Also check out Sart, collectively billed to Jan Garbarek, Rypdal, Arild Andersen and Jon Christensen.

Enthusiastic cosign on Rypdal's What Comes After. I hear it as an album-length exploration of the sonic world established by Miles on "Yesternow" from Jack Johnson.

Also Descendre from 1980 is outstanding. Some of the most futuristic jazz I know, esp. "Circles" and "Innseiling"

"Keep It Like That - Tight" on Terje Rypdal is practically a re-write of "Yesternow" - different notes but a carbon-copy arrangement.

The long title track of Whenever I Seem to Be Far Away is a pretty singular mix of ECM-style fusion, 20th-century classical and space-rock guitar.

Astonished, for all the Necks talk, that nobody mentioned https://underworld.bandcamp.com/album/drift-underworld-the-necks
especially "A Very Silent Way"

"Keep It Like That - Tight" on Terje Rypdal is practically a re-write of "Yesternow" - different notes but a carbon-copy arrangement.

Just listening to this alb now - final track, 'Tough Enough', also leans v heavily on 'Right Off'.

Thanks to this thread I just ordered three of the first four Rypdal albums from ECM (Odyssey isn't available right now).

Odyssey is available as a 3CD box (it was originally a double LP) with a bonus third disc of otherwise unavailable live stuff. Worth it.
