The composer sketched out some rudimentary harmonic sequences in his hotel room, briefly explained the plot to his sidemen (\u003cstrong\u003eRené Urtreger\u003c\/strong\u003e on piano, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.com\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Kenny+Clarke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKenny Clarke\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e on drums, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.com\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Barney+Wilen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarney Wilen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e on tenor, \u003cstrong\u003ePierre Michelot\u003c\/strong\u003e on bass) and headed to the studio where they improvised the entire session without any composed theme, with clips from the film projected on the wall in front of them. The resulting soundtrack to \u003cem\u003eAscenseur Pour L'Échafaud\u003c\/em\u003e (translation: \"\u003cem\u003eElevator To The Gallows\"\u003c\/em\u003e… not so romantic-sounding anymore is it?) is, as you’d expect, pure Miles brilliance. Working under the precept of a soundtrack gave Miles the confidence to go down a dozen different rabbit holes chasing different iterations of a singular theme, like the solo bass \u0026amp; drums on “Visite Du Vigile,” or the stalking austerity of piano and trumpet couplet “Julien Dans L’Ascenseur.” Be sure to check out swanky opener “Générique,” the confidently frenetic “Sur L'Autoroute” and the cool-as-shit “Au Bar Du Petit Bac.” 12-inch LP reissue with printed liner note insert and gatefold sleeve with awesome photography, recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g black vinyl pressing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehoused in tip-on gatefold sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes printed liner note insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efeaturing \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.com\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Miles+Davis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"\u003eMiles Davis\u003c\/a\u003e (t), Barney Wilen (t. sax), René Urtreger (p), Pierre Michelot (b), Kenny Clarke (d)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1958\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Fontana 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by nick nightingale 07\/2018\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Miles Davis","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":48501363540139,"sku":"fr-5043","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/5282\/1931\/files\/milesdavis-ascenseur-blackviynil-1.jpg?v=1793628171","url":"https:\/\/shopdelviro.shop\/products\/miles-davis-ascenseur-pour-lechafaud-180g-vinyl-lp","provider":"Avermont","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
