''フランス語:Filles de Kilimanjaro'' (French for "Girls/Daughters of Kilimanjaro") is a studio album by American jazz recording artist Miles Davis. It was recorded in June and September 1968. The album was first released in the United Kingdom by Columbia (CBS) in 1968,〔(Entry at Discogs )〕 and subsequently in the United States in February 1969. The album is a transitional work for Davis, who was shifting stylistically from acoustic recordings with his second "great" quintet to his subsequent "electric" period. ''Filles de Kilimanjaro'' was well received by contemporary music critics, who viewed it as a significant release in modern jazz. == Background and recording == The June sessions featured Wayne Shorter on saxophone, Herbie Hancock on the electric Rhodes piano, Ron Carter on electric bass, and Tony Williams on drums. The September sessions replaced Hancock with Chick Corea, and Carter with Dave Holland, making ''Filles de Kilimanjaro'' the last Miles album to feature his Second Great Quintet, although all except Carter would play on his next album, ''In A Silent Way''. During the September sessions, Holland played acoustic bass and Corea played an RMI Electra-piano in addition to acoustic piano. These are Holland and Corea's first known recordings with Davis. The album was produced by Teo Macero and engineered by Frank Laico and Arthur Kendy. The album title refers in part to Kilimanjaro African Coffee, a company in which Davis had made a financial investment.〔 Davis decided to list all the song titles in French to give the album an exotic touch.〔 Davis married Betty O. Mabry Davis in September 1968, and named "フランス語:Mademoiselle Mabry (Miss Mabry)" for her.〔 The song itself was recorded during the same month as Davis' wedding.〔 Betty Davis appears on the album cover.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Filles de Kilimanjaro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
