'in concert' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'i say ease into silver band' is the wordplay.
'i say ease' becomes 'ee' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'band' becomes 'ring' (a ring is a band of metal).
'ag'+'ring'='agring'
'ee' placed inside 'agring' is 'AGREEING'.
