This is the conclusion of the convoluted events that occurred just the other day involving "In a Silent Way"
in 1969 "Fusion" wasn't even considered jazz, consequently, I bought it by mistake, as many of Miles fans did. It got on my "playlist" not too long ago when I archived Vinyl to "hard drive". Although I have owned that record for many years, it just didn't fall into the category of records to be played.
It's incredible how much an individual's taste can change in almost 40 years. It got on my "playlist" because it was a vinyl album in exquisite shape because it hadn't been played much, it was a good candidate for archiving.
Some people make a playlist for a day, my playlist consists of all my favorite records, the only order it has is going from one decade to the next. My days consisted of trying to find something productive to do, (now I can barely take care of necessities) while the music played in the background.
Each time the music came up (In a Silent Way) I liked it, but didn't know what it was; not until I descended Mt. Everest, guess you get the picture now.
