Miles Davis - Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud - 180g LP

Miles Davis's legendary 1958 film score, pressed on 180g vinyl in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket.

Recorded in a single overnight Paris session in December 1957, Ascenseur pour l'échafaud is Miles Davis's improvised score for Louis Malle's film noir. Playing live to the projected film alongside a French rhythm section, Davis conjured one of the most atmospheric and influential soundtracks in all of jazz — spare, nocturnal and endlessly moody. This 180g reissue features Boris Vian's original liner notes plus an essay on the recording by Franck Bergerot.
