## Description

Product Description               Unavailable in the U.S.! Miles Davis' moody, evocative music for the Louis Malle movie (translation: The Lift to the Scaffold) comes in two different forms on this reissue. There is a chronological sketch pad of tracks which didn't appear in the original release, or appeared in altered form, and tracks 16-26, which comprise the body of the original release, complete with the odd dollop of post-production echo to italicize the film's dramatic content. Recorded on December 4-5, 1957, the music for the film has an elegant, romantic air to it. In the company of such French jazzmen as Pierre Michelot and tenor saxophonist Barney Wilen, this soundtrack is something of a throwback to the feel of Miles' early '50s Blue Note recordings with drummer Kenny Clarke. Rarely has Miles' open tone been more poignant, and that bittersweet quality probably owes something to Miles' ongoing affair with the film's leading lady, Jeanne Moreau.                  .com               Performed by a Miles Davis-fronted European band for a movie by Louis Malle, this music helped define the sound of film noir. It made viewers think the genre's films had always sounded just so, with slow-walking bass beats and muted, slithering horn lines miming the characters on the screen--and underlining their emotions. The melodies here are brief fragments, sometimes rising up only to disappear and then briefly return. This is Miles playing in the moment, improvising musical impressions as he watched the screen. And what he played managed to capture the era of postwar everywhere, while it offered Davis the freedom to test his on-the-spot compositional skills within a minimalist context. How many other beboppers who worked within the shadow of Charlie Parker could have ever recorded these little gems? --John Szwed

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very different side of Miles
*by J***N on October 16, 2021*

This album is special to me on several levels.It hits me with all the notes that make me reflective, as if I’m walking alone at dusk in some lonely, misty and melancholy place and wouldn’t have it any other way. This is more of a soundtrack for personal solitude.The pressing here is magnificent. I’m no fan of color vinyl but the iridescent green is interesting, and it plays flawless without clicks, and drowning in precise deep saturated sound on each track, on a good audio system this album creates a sound presence that cannot be matched on any other medium; I know because I have tried and failed.Last, I would say that for all the acclaim that Miles Davis justly deserves, I believe that if I he had created more music like the soundtrack pieces on this album, he would be remembered as a different type of composer, an exalted Eric Satie of jazz, someone whose melancholic style illustrated on this album has not yet and likely never will be imitated.
