Music reviews of Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud (Lift To The Scaffold): Original Soundtrack
Music Review: Little jewels, all.
Rating: 5 Stars
Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud or elevator to the scaffold, where the victim is hung. The sound track to the movie of that name. Miles happened to be in France when the brilliant Louis Malle, director of the film, enlisted Miles to do the sound track. We all got a great record with this.
This is another testament to Davis' brilliance. And soooo accessible. You can hear the minutiae of Miles' stylistic elements in these miniature jewels, like looking into his music with a microscope.
Description of Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud (Lift To The Scaffold): Original Soundtrack
Performed by a Miles Davis-fronted European band for a movie by Louis Malle, this music helped define the sound of film noir. It made viewers think the genre's films had always sounded just so, with slow-walking bass beats and muted, slithering horn lines miming the characters on the screen--and underlining their emotions. The melodies here are brief fragments, sometimes rising up only to disappear and then briefly return. This is Miles playing in the moment, improvising musical impressions as he watched the screen. And what he played managed to capture the era of postwar everywhere, while it offered Davis the freedom to test his on-the-spot compositional skills within a minimalist context. How many other beboppers who worked within the shadow of Charlie Parker could have ever recorded these little gems? --John SzwedBebop General CDs
