Description: Jazz and film noir are perfect bedfellows, as evidenced on the great French film directed by Louis Malle in 1958, Ascenseur Pour L'échafaud. 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 on tenor saxophone, René Urtreger on piano, Pierre Michelot on bass and Kenny Clarke on 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 this recording can stand proudly alongside Duke Ellington's music from Anatomy of a Murder and the soundtrack of Play Misty for Me as great achievements of artistic excellence in fusing dramatic scenes with equally compelling modern jazz music.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. - Disc 1 -1 Generique (2:52)2 L'assassinat de Carala (2:11)3 Sur L'autoroute (2:20)4 Julien Dans L'ascenseur (2:13)5 Florence Sur Les Champs-Elysees (2:53)6 Diner Au Motel (3:59)7 Evasion de Julien (0:55)8 Visite Du Vigile (2:05)9 Au Bar Du Petit Bac (2:54)10 Chez Le Photographe Du Mot (3:55)- Disc 2 -1 Nuit Sur Les Champs-Elysees (Take 1) (2:24)2 Nuit Sur Les Champs-Elysees (Take 2) (5:22)3 Nuit Sur Les Champs-Elysees (Take 3) (2:52)4 Nuit Sur Les Champs Elysees (Take 4)(2:59)5 Assassinat Visite Du Vigil (2:03)6 Assassinat Julien Dans L'ascenseur (2:11)7 Assassinat L'assassinat de Carala (2:10)8 Motel (3:57)9 Final (Take 1) (3:05)10 Final (Take 2) (3:01)11 Final (Take 3) (4:05)12 Ascenseur (1:58)13 Le Petit Bal (Take 1) (2:41)14 Le Petit Bal (Take 2) (2:55)15 Sequence Voiture (Take 1) (2:58)16 Sequence Voiture Sur L'aut (Take 2) (2:18)
