Filles de Kilimanjaro (1968) ...
Although all of the later experiments with avant-garde fusion make great records, this album (and possibly Nefertiti) are my favourite Miles Davis from the 1960s ...Tout de Suite ...
Filles de Kilimanjaro ...
Kilimanjaro Coffee, in which MD had made an investment ...
Mademoiselle Mabry ...
For Mrs Betty O. Mabry Davis, who is also the cover star ...
"Filles is performed (and edited) like a suite, with a sense of flow unlike anything Davis had recorded up to that point. That flow is enhanced by a music played all in one key (F), with only five 'tunes,' and with a mood and rhythms that change gradually from start to finish" ... Downbeat, John Ephland...
Ephland concluded in his review, "In passing, Filles de Kilimanjaro is a turning-point album unlike any other for Davis: For the first time, his bebop roots were essentially severed, rockier rhythms, electricity and ostinato-driven bass lines now holding sway"...Little stuff ...
