"Another amazing album from my favorite period of Miles Davis output. It may not be what most people think of as Jazz but to me it's great music, whatever label you want to apply to it. Great musicians transcending the established definitions of what jazz is, perhaps creating something new or just stretching the boundaries. Plenty of great listening. If you like this period of Miles work you won't have any problems. You either get it or you don't but if you don't you might get it someday. I never had a problem with it and love it all to this day."

"The beauty and the Genius of this album is how that it not only signals the departure of cool jazz into electric jazz and eventually fusion, but more importantly, how it shows that Miles was already way ahead of the crew! Briefly, although I find the first 4 tracks excellent, it is Mademoiselle Mabry that really blows me away! Miles' playing is so differently lyrical. He plays less but communicates so much more. Although the piece is coherent and, to me, far from a 'ballad', I wonder if after (and I mean years after) Wayne Shorter thought he sounded too 'old-school' for lack of a better expression. Very highly recommended for this track alone!"

Miles Davis- Filles De Kilimanjaro

"In 1968 Miles Davis recorded Filles De Kilimanjaro. It is a true landmark album and is the very first Miles Davis fusion album. Now, when I say fusion it is not as extreme as On the Corner, Bitches Brew, at Fillmore etc. This is still the second great quintet and they are in good form. This would be the sixth and final album by the quintet. In my opinion it is another classic in the Miles Davis canon. My favorite songs are Frelon Brun, Petits Machins, and Filles De Kilimanjaro. Buy this! you will enjoy it."
