Miles Davis – Ascenceur Pour L’echafaud – Vinyl LP

Limited Edition, Deluxe Edition, High Quality, Gatefold Sleeve

Part of the Jean-Pierre Leloir 180 gram vinyl Collection, while Louis Malle’s Ascenseur pour l’échafaud from 1958 was the first to show an absolute integration of jazz music into a feature film whose story had nothing to do with jazz or even with music itself. It employed jazz to emphasize the dramatic action and to develop/support the film’s climax. Miles Davis’ improvisations fit the dark atmosphere of the film perfectly and contributed greatly to underline the many subtleties of the story and the internal thoughts of its characters.
