BOB BELDEN, WHILE DISCUSSING THESE SETS SAID: "IT WAS A JOURNEY HOME. HOME WAS VIENNA, AUSTRIA. JOE ZAWINUL WAS VISITING HIS PARENTS FOR CHRISTMAS AND WAS BRINGING HIS FAMILY. HOME CAN MEAN MANY THINGS. FAMILY. FRIENDS. FOOD. BUT ALSO PEACEFULNESS AND LOVE. A RADIATION OF HUMAN WARMTH. ON THIS TRIP I WROTE IN A SILENT WAY, JOE RECALLED. PERHAPS THE SEEDS OF INSPIRATION FOR IN A SILENT WAY LIE IN THAT FEELING OF HOME, WHERE THE SOUND OF SHEPHERD'S HORNS CAN BE HEARD ECHOING THROUGH THE HILLS. FROM THIS NOSTALGIC MEMORY FLOWERED ONE OF THE MUSIC WORLD'S MOST ENDURING MELODIES. IRONICALLY, IN A SILENT WAY SOON BECAME A CATCHALL FOR THE ALBUM, A SUBTLE HINT THAT MILES WAS MOVING FORWARD "IN A SILENT WAY". RATHER THAN REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD IN THE FASHION OF THE TIMES, MILES DIRECTED THE FLOW OF HIS SOUND AND IDEAS IN A MANNER THAT WOULD BE EXACTLY OPPOSITE THE TENOR OF THE TIME. IT IS ALSO IRONIC THAT THE CULMINATION OF MILE'S EFFORTS AS A COMPOSER AND CONCEPTUALIZER ON THE COMPLETE IN A SILENT WAY SESSIONS DEFINES NOT ONLY THE COMPOSITION THAT ZAWINUL COMPOSED BUT A SUMMATION OF MILES ' CLEARLY STRUCTURED, EXPANSIVE AND AUTEURISTIC EFFORTS TO CREATE A NEW SOUND---THE MERGING OF JAZZ, SOUL AND ROCK MUSICAL LANGUAGE".
