In a Silent Way
I did find my copy of Miles Davis' Porgy & Bess but then found this and went with that instead. Bit of a weird choice for my walk to work through the City of London but a great meditative start to the day.
The mix of electric (keyboards/guitar) and acoustic (trumpet/drums/bass) gives the music an ethereal yet solid feel that always seems on the verge of something (rather like a much shorter Tristan und Isolde) til things finally get going part way through It's About That Time.
Seems like the Miles Davis fusion album you're supposed to love is Bitches Brew but give me this any day or, preferebly, late in any evening.
