  • Skillfulness (also released as Skillfullness) is an album by multi-instrumentalist Alan Silva. It was recorded in November 1968 in New York City, and was released in 1969 by ESP-Disk. On the album, Silva is joined by flutist Becky Friend, pianist Dave Burrell, pianist and organist Mike Ephron, vibraphonist Karl Berger, and percussionists Lawrence Cooke, Barry Altschul, and Mario Pavone. The recording was made shortly before Silva moved to Europe. According to Silva, the album was based on the notion of "skillful means" (Upaya) as expressed in the Buddhist Lotus Sutra. The recording contains two tracks: "Skillfullness" for three musicians, and "Solestrial" for an expanded group, with Silva conducting. Silva later stated that "Solestrial" was his first recorded attempt to conduct an improvisation, and acknowledged the influence of Sun Ra, with whom he had worked, in this regard. (The track can be viewed as a forerunner of Butch Morris's "conductions.") He also credited John Coltrane's influence, commenting: "My work was based on John Coltrane's Ascension. The first ten minutes of Ascension, before the solos start, were revolutionary. I always thought if he'd gone on with just the collective improvisation he'd have got it. So I felt he left that to me to do!" (en)
