I always take a token brit-jazz Mercury prize nom as an indelible stain on a band's character, much more than whatever the heck their bloody name is!

The Dinosaurs were ex members of several ballroom scene SF bands at least one of whom had legal training and sued the Amherst band over use of their name,. I think that was after the 2nd lp, & they actually played in London under the original non-augmented name at the end of 87.Surprised me that this jazz band could come along and use the name without comment but maybe the people who brought the late 80s lawsuit are retired or dead

Sanctuary from Bitches Brew sounds a good deal like ISW.

"Nowhere" by Bob Moses (recorded in 1967-68 but shelved until 2003) gives off strong proto-IaSW vibes. shame it doesn't continue for another 15 or 20 minutes

this track by Luis Gasca starts off sounding like IASW rip, the rest of the album, For Those Who Chant, has other stuff going on (Carlos Santana, chanting etc)

― mizzell, Thursday, 14 May 2020 21:56 (four years ago) link
I love that album. The personnel is amazing: Gasca on trumpet, Joe Henderson on tenor sax, Hadley Caliman on flute, Carlos Santana and Neal Schon on guitars, Richard Kermode on organ, George Cables, Gregg Rolie and Mark Levine on piano and/or electric piano, José "Chepito" Areas on vibes, Stanley Clarke on bass, Lenny White and Michael Shrieve on drums, Carmelo Garcia and Coke Escovedo on timbales, Mike Carabello and Victor Pantoja on congas, and Garnette Mims, Joan MacGregor, Rico Reyes, and Snooky Flowers on other percussion.
It's only ever been released on CD once, in Japan, and the prices on Discogs are far more than I'm willing to pay.

Brand-new music from Anthony Nemet, who's collaborated a bunch with Meg from U.S. Girls and her husband Max Turnbull--this is In A Supersilent Way, but IMO he nails it, maybe uncannily so but man I love this sound (another band from here in Toronto that I'd also recommend to folks, who are friends of/peers with Anthony but come from the Soft Machine/prog end of jazz fusion, would be Zacht Automaat):

is he sampling or did he actually manage to get a band to sound like this or is it both ?
― budo jeru, Friday, 22 May 2020 03:17 (four years ago) link
He has good/interesting horn players on the session (Daniel Pencer on bass clarinet plays live with Andy Shauf; Andy Haas on sax was in Martha & The Muffins early on and now plays in the Cosmic Range), which helps IMO, and obv treated the sounds (electric keys, etc.) for max Teology

Eddie Henderson's Sunburst― Naive Teen Idol, Wednesday, October 15, 2008 10:11 AM
― Naive Teen Idol, Wednesday, October 15, 2008 10:11 AM
his two mid-70s blue notes (sunburst and heritage) are so appropriate for this topic. more polished and funky than what miles had done, but the more i hear those two albums through the years, the better they sound. there's a very opaque quality to them that i just can't articulate - there's moments on both that still don't sound like anything else to me.

All but one of Henderson's '70s albums are good to great. For those who don't know, Realization and Inside Out are basically Mwandishi albums released under Henderson's name, and then Sunburst, Comin' Through, Heritage and Mahal are all slick jazz-funk gradually evolving into disco. He made one more album, 1979's Runnnin' To Your Love, that I've never heard, but he's lying down shirtless on the cover, caressing a flugelhorn, and I think I'm safe in passing on it.

Found this, which I think is a compilation of 3 tracks from the same tv showhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmlZnnRsPOc
& if nobody's said Santana's Lotus it is pretty great in a liquid electric jazz way hich may not be exactly referent to that particular Miles lp but fits into the continuum. & has Leon Thomas onboard.
― Stevolende, Tuesday, 3 January 2023 11:45 (one year ago) link
Donald Byrd's Ethiopian Knights is pretty great too.
& Sonny Sharrock's Paradise is more balmy funk stuff with clouds of noise guitar . Again not sure if it does directly reference IASW but is a bit of an outlier in his catalogue for that balmy sunny funk stuff. That extended Whiskey A Go GO by the Herbie Mann group is also interesting since its that band from the turn of the 70s with some versions of tracks from the Sharrock's more avant late 60s lps being played.

Lego My Ego the bonus disc that acme with Yerself Is Steam at one point had a version of Very Sleepy Rivers that went in and out of a track they called Shh Peaceful . I thought it was the version from this set so should be this one. Haven't listened to this through to see how much it showshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bm4iNxvTpI
I did find Mercury Rev mixed into various eras of Miles very well anyway.

Got to say the 2 keyboard version of the Allman Brothers with Chuck Leavell on electric piano and only Dickie on guitar doing “Elizabeth Reed” off the Wipe the Windows live album has a silent way vibe. Worth checking out if unfamiliar with the take.

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
