England's Beat Goes On Label does two-fers better than almost
anyone else. They remaster the music, pop the CDs into durable,
slim-line jewel cases, and offer authoritative liner notes as well
as a tidy, if not overly attractive, paper slipcase. This
double-disc includes the two middle period Return to Forever
releases, Where Have I Known You Before, originally issued in 1974,
and No Mystery, released in 1975, which was also the band's final
album for Polydor -- they moved to Columbia for 1976's classic
Romantic Warrior. The first of these two discs introduced the
band's legendary -- though not original -- lineup: with Chick Corea
on keyboards, bassist Stanley Clarke, drummer Lenny White, and new
guitarist Al DiMeola, who replaced Bill Connors. The now corny
sci-fi imagery was perfect for the mid-'70s, and the stellar blend
of knotty compositions and intense solo improvisation made for one
of RTF's most compelling albums. No Mystery, featuring the same
personnel, generally got shorter shrift, but hindsight being 20/20,
that's unwarranted. Time has proven it to be a very consistent --
though admittedly less groundbreaking -- offering; it's worthy of
real reconsideration in the 21st century. These records were, along
with Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy and Romantic Warrior, Billy
Cobham's Spectrum, Tony Williams' Lifetime, the Mahavishnu
Orchestra's Inner Mounting Flame and Birds of Fire, the epitome of
jazz-rock fusion; Miles Davis' music of the era was always
something more mysterious, more speculative, and far funkier than
this muscular -- and masculine -- blurred out blend of instrumental
pyrotechnics. The BGO versions of these albums sound a whole level
or two better than the domestic budget reissues. ~ Thom Jurek
Since it's billed as "Directions in Music by Miles Davis," it
should come as little surprise that Filles de Kilimanjaro is the
beginning of a new phase for Miles, the place that he begins to
dive headfirst into jazz-rock fusion. It also happens to be the
swan song for his second classic quintet, arguably the finest
collective of musicians he ever worked with, and what makes this
album so fascinating is that it's possible to hear the breaking
point -- though his quintet all followed him into fusion (three of
his supporting players were on In a Silent Way)...
