"The Voice of Silence" by Peter Michael Hamel
"Silence is the Answer" by Deuter
"Silence" by Charlie Haden
While the first two take the idea of silence from religion & philosophy, Charlie Haden knows something about silence for a very different reason.
From the age of 2 till he was 15 he was part of his family's country music radio show, he then contracted a form of Polio & in effect lost his voice & stopped singing.
He didn't sing again in public or on record until 1999, when he recorded a version of "Wayfaring Stranger". He had kept rather busy in the meantime as perhaps the most sort after double bass player in jazz.
