The Complete In a Silent Way Sessions is a three-disc box set by trumpeter Miles Davis released by Columbia/Legacy, (Mosaic Records in conjunction with Legacy released the 5 LP set)[1] featuring recordings from the sessions that would produce his 1969 album In a Silent Way as well as transitional pieces from the era. Beside two tracks previously released on the 1968 album Filles de Kilimanjaro, the set also includes material for the Columbia outtake compilations Water Babies, Circle in the Round, and Directions. The box set features previously unreleased music, mostly from the In a Silent Way sessions proper. The set includes essays by Michael Cuscuna and Bob Belden, along with details of the recording sessions. It is number five in the Legacy series of Miles Davis's Complete Sessions box sets.

It includes several previously unreleased tracks, namely "Splashdown," "The Ghetto Walk" and "Early Minor," as well as a longer, much different version of "Shhh/Peaceful" and two "In a Silent Way" alternate takes.
