Repress from this 1969 album with Miles moving away from his modal jazz output and going into more experimental/fusion territories,

.
As the 1960s came to a close, Miles Davis had begun to drift away from traditional jazz music, as his second "quintet" period reached an end. He had been toying with jazz fusion in live settings, and on his two 1968 releases Miles In The Sky and Filles de Kilimanjaro. Then came 1969's In A Silent Way, an experimental work of jazz music, clocking in at nearly 40 minutes, stretched across four tracks. An album which featured revolutionary production and editing techniques, (Courtesy of frequent Davis producer and collaborator Teo Macero) and contributions from many of the greatest jazz musicians of all time, among them were Herbie Hancock on keys, Wayne Shorter on saxophone, Tony Williams on drums, and then newcomer John McLaughlin, who would go on to form the acclaimed Mahavishnu Orchestra
