Filles de Kilimanjaro (French: "Girls of Kilimanjaro") is a jazz album by Miles Davis. It was recorded in June and September 1968, and Columbia Records released the album in 1969. 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. During the September sessions, Holland played acoustic bass and Corea played an RMI Electra-piano in addition to acoustic piano.[1] 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.. Image File history File links Miles_Davis-Filles_de_Kilimanjaro_(album_cover). ...

The album can be seen as a transitional work between Davis's mainly acoustic recordings with the Second Quintet and his later electric period (for example, Bitches Brew). However, author Paul Tingen points out that while Carter and Hancock played electric instruments at the first recording session, the later session was a bit of a throwback, in which Holland played only acoustic bass and Corea played both acoustic and electric piano.[1] Stanley Crouch, a staunch critic of Davis' use of electric instruments, has described the album as "the trumpeter's last important jazz record."[2][3] Bitches Brew is an album recorded by American jazz trumpeter Miles Davis in 1969. ...

Gil Evans, with whom Davis had previously collaborated, helped compose, arrange, and produce the album, though he is not mentioned in the credits.[4] Evans co-composed "Petits Machins", which he later recorded as "Eleven" with himself and Davis listed as co-composers.[4] The song "Mademoiselle Mabry (Miss Mabry)," while credited to Davis, is actually Gil Evans' reworking of "The Wind Cries Mary" by Jimi Hendrix (Davis and Evans had met with Hendrix several times to exchange ideas).[5] At the same time, some portions of the song resemble Lieber and Stoller's "On Broadway".[1] Gil Evans (13 May 1912 in Toronto Canada – 20 March 1988 in Cuernavaca, Mexico) was a jazz pianist, arranger, composer, and bandleader, active in the United States. ...

The album title refers in part to Kilimanjaro African Coffee, a company in which Davis had made a financial investment.[7] Davis decided to list all the song titles in French to give the album an exotic touch.[7]
