Our Take

If you thought you had heard all there was to hear from the legendary Miles Davis, think again, dear reader. The jazz maestro's soundtrack to the French film "Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud" has been given a fresh new lease of life on this grey marble vinyl reissue, and let me tell you, it is a musical experience not to be missed.

From the moment the needle hits the grooves, you are transported to the smoky, dimly lit streets of Paris, where danger and intrigue lurk around every corner. Davis' muted trumpet weaves a spellbinding web of mystery and suspense, while his band effortlessly conjures up the cool, sophisticated vibe of 1950s jazz.

The standout track, of course, is the iconic "Generique," with its haunting, atmospheric melody that perfectly captures the mood of the film. Davis' improvisational skills are on full display here, as he conjures up a solo that is both soulful and inventive.

But it's not just about Davis' virtuosity – the entire band shines on this record, with pianist René Urtreger and drummer Kenny Clarke providing the perfect backdrop for Davis' evocative playing.

In conclusion, this reissue of "Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud" is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. So pour yourself a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let Miles Davis take you on a journey through the streets of Paris. You won't be disappointed.
