About Silence
This is a dark and adsorbing and, yes, beautiful record. It doesn't seem designed to make any deep points, yet does so simply by the imaginative force of the playing. I don't know what time of day Haden and company went into the studio, but in some time zone it was 'round midnight. That's the zone they whisk you to.
