“[Yanda] flaunts melodic imagination and a brisk feel for swing.” – Bob Doerschuk, DownBeat
“[Yanda] is a wonderful guitarist… He combines [Larry] Coryell’s looseness with [Jim] Hall’s precise tone in a unique burning style.” – Jerome Wilson, Cadence
For even the most casual of jazz fans, the title of A Silent Way, the latest album by the exploratory guitarist Jim Yanda, will inevitably evoke the name of another album by one of the music’s most iconic figures. That’s no accident. Like Miles Davis’ In a Silent Way, Yanda’s trio excursion with trumpet player Herb Robertson and drummer Phil Haynes ventures into often stark, spacious, richly textured territories.
