Once in Paris, Miles came into contact with many members of the modern existentialist cultural environment in the neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Près. These include the director Louis Malle who had just finished his first movie : \"Ascenseur Pour L'échafaud\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJean-Paul Rappeneau, a Jazz fan and Louis Malle's assistant at the time, suggested asking Miles Davis to create the film's soundtrack. A private sceening has been organized.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn December 4 1957, Miles Davis brought three French Jazzmen - Barney Wilen on tenor saxophone, René Urtreger on piano, Pierre Michelot on bass and his american compatriot Kenny Clarke on drums - to the recording studio Le Poste Parisien without having them prepare anything. Miles Davis only gave the musicians a few rudimentary harmonic sequences he had assembled in his hotel room.\u003cbr\u003eThis recording was made at night in a most informal atmosphere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe soundtrack was not released on it's own in the USA but ten songs from this soundtrack were released as one side of the album \"Jazz Track\" which received a 1960 Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Performance, Solo or Small Group.\u003cbr\u003e\"Ascenseur Pour L'échafaud\" has become a great achievement of artistic excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sam Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42198059909276,"sku":"SAM660.213MR","price":44.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/unnamed_1_88674136-05fc-4980-8588-b4fcfbfbb6d7.png?v=1669628463","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/miles-davis-ascenseur-pour-lechafaud-2","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
