clifford_thornton Posted Wednesday at 03:49 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 03:49 PM Been a while on Filles, but probably would agree. Quote
colinmce Posted Wednesday at 04:05 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 04:05 PM Filles is a favorite. Miles in The Sky is the one that never really held together for me. Quote

JSngry Posted Wednesday at 06:36 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 06:36 PM Filles is a masterfully unified presentation imo. Even though it's two bands. One of the relatively few LPs that isn't harmed by going from two sides to one. It's actually enhanced. And still one of imo best Tony Williams amazements on record. Quote

JSngry Posted Thursday at 12:11 AM Report Posted Thursday at 12:11 AM A lot of LP sequencing front loads the really good stuff on the first side. Or is set up in such a way that each side is complete in itself. Either way, listening to the record uninterrupted on a CD is a different experience, and quite often not a better one. Filles doesn't suffer from this, it's one perfect flow from start to finish, like a classical work of unified multiple movements. YMMV, of course. Quote

Filles was a thing you got to have and to study when I was a kid. There is no way to ignore Filles if you want to follow Miles´transition from simple hardbop to the compexity of things like Bitches Brew as the start for a most creative period until 1975. It was so much en vogue, that album. All those there were becoming top acts on their own. Chick, Herbie, Tony, John McLaughlin and so, they became main influences of the jazz of the 70´s which developement I could follow from the start on. You met guys on the street who would stop you and ask you if you have a copy of "Filles". Some few had purchased the LP. We others might copy it on casetofon. I never will forget that question about the album. Nobody here in my surroundings knew how to pronounce it. They all said😄 "Fill Less deh Killi Mann Djaro" Edited Thursday at 07:48 AM by Gheorghe Quote

I reckon knowing very little about the rest of her discography. I was lucky to attend her concert sometime in 2008 in a small, almost intimate venue in Glasgow. NP: Joe Henderson - Page One Quote
