Ended the weekend and welcomed the week with Ascenseur pour l'échafaud an album by Miles Davis...The album features the musical cues for the 1958 Louis Malle film 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 ..Rappeneau introduced him to Malle, and Davis agreed to record the music after attending a private screening. On December 4, he brought his four sidemen to the recording studio without having had them prepare anything. Davis only gave the musicians a few rudimentary harmonic sequences he had assembled in his hotel room, and, once the plot was explained, the band improvised without any precomposed theme, while edited loops of the musically relevant film sequences were projected in the background. - Wikipedia I read the source novel and rewatched the film last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc4tT-55ZzI&list=RDWc4tT-55ZzI&start_radio=1 #MilesDavis #Soundtrack #Jazz #Music #LouisMalle

My Funny Valentine: Miles Davis in Concert is a live album by the jazz trumpeter and composer Miles Davis. It was recorded at a concert at the Philharmonic Hall of Lincoln Center, New York City, on February 12, 1964, and released through Columbia Records the following year. My Funny Valentine Review by Scott Yanow Miles Davis' concert of February 12, 1964, was divided into two LPs, with all of the ballads put on My Funny Valentine. These five lengthy tracks (specifically, "All of You," "Stella by Starlight," "All Blues," "I Thought About You," and the title cut) put the emphasis on the lyricism of Davis, along with some strong statements from tenor saxophonist George Coleman and freer moments from the young rhythm section of pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Tony Williams. This hour-long LP complements the up-tempo romps of Four & More. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmNpRG7C1yQ&list=RDHmNpRG7C1yQ&start_radio=1 #MilesDavis #Jazz #ModalJazz #HerbieHancock #Music #RonCarter #TonyWilliams #GeorgeColeman
