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.

Miles Davis

MILES DAVIS: The Jazz Maverick With his smooth trumpet melodies and innovative approach to music, Miles Davis has left an indelible mark on the world of jazz. Born in 1926 in Illinois, Davis began his musical journey at a young age, studying at the Juilliard School in New York City before launching his illustrious career. Known for his cool demeanor and distinct sound, Davis quickly rose to fame in the 1950s and 60s with albums like "Kind of Blue" and "Bitches Brew." His experimental style, blending elements of classical, rock, and funk with jazz, pushed the boundaries of the genre and earned him a legion of devoted fans. Davis was not one to shy away from controversy, whether it was his bold fashion choices or his willingness to collaborate with artists from all walks of life. He was a trendsetter in every sense of the word, constantly pushing the envelope and challenging the status quo. Despite his tumultuous personal life and battles with addiction, Davis continued to create music that resonated with audiences around the world. His legacy lives on through his extensive discography and the countless musicians he influenced along the way. Miles Davis may have left us in 1991, but his music remains as timeless and relevant as ever. He was a true visionary in every sense of the word, and his impact on the world of music will never be forgotten. Raise a glass to the jazz maverick, Miles Davis.
