CRITIC REVIEWS
The last album from Davis' Second Great Quintet is another one that unfortunately comes off as nothing more than just a transitional point, and also unfortunately lacks any truly great moments that made me respect Miles In The Sky a lot more. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that you should just dismiss this album entirely. Hell, there's a reason why this is seen as one of Davis' classics, after all, even if it is another commonly forgotten one like Sorcerer.

I love side two of the vinyl: "Filles de Kilimanjaro" and "Mademoiselle Mabry".
Recorded June-September '68.
Pivotal release for Miles as three tracks are by Miles' classic '60s quintet (Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams) and two tracks ("Mademoiselle Mabry" and "Frelon Brun") are the very first recordings featuring Chick Corea and Dave Holland and clearly indicate a revitalized Miles, a new sound, a new approach.
