MILES DAVIS
ASCENSEUR POUR L'ECHAFAUD
180 GRAM VINYL 2LP RELEASE ALL NEW & SEALED
Ascenseur Pour L'échafaud is a 1958 French film directed by Louis Malle.
It was released as "Lift to the Scaffold" in the UK.
The
film was nothing special, but it did accomplish one thing: it proposed a
new ideal of cinematic realism, a new way to look at a woman.
Jean-Paul Rappeneau, a jazz fan and Malle's assistant at the time, suggested asking Miles Davis to create the film's Soundtrack.
He
showed Davis a screening of the movie, and afterwards Miles knew
exactly how to portray the smoky hazed or frantic scenes through sonic
imagery.
On December 4 1957, he brought four French Jazzmen
(Barney Wilen / tenor saxophone, René Urtreger / piano, Pierre Michelot –
bass and Kenny Clarke – drums) to the recording studio "Le Poste
Parisien Studio" without having them prepare anything.
Davis only gave the musicians a few rudimentary harmonic sequences he had assembled in his hotel room.
Eventually "Ascenseur Pour L'échafaud" has become a great achievement of artistic excellence.
For the first time since its original release in 1958, Music On Vinyl combined the original soundtrack and the additional recordings and created an essential 2LP set with the original artwork.
