''Ascenseur pour l'échafaud'' is an album by jazz musician Miles Davis. It was recorded at Le Poste Parisien Studio in Paris on December 4 and 5, 1957. 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 – possibly inspired by the Modern Jazz Quartet's recording for Roger Vadim's ''Sait-on jamais'' (Lit: 'Does One Ever Know', released as: 'No Sun in Venice'), released a few months earlier in 1957. Davis was booked to perform at the Club Saint-Germain in Paris for November 1957. 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. In Europe, the soundtrack was originally released as a 10 inch LP on the Fontana label.〔(Ascenseur Pour L'Échafaud ), at Discogs.com, accessed June 18, 2015〕 In America it was released by Columbia as side one of the album ''Jazz Track'' (CL 1268), with the second side filled by three new tracks recorded with his regular sextet (later to be re-released on the ''1958 Miles'' CD). ''Jazz Track'' received a 1960 Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Performance, Solo or Small Group. From a musical point of view, the mood and the characteristics of the soundtrack immediately precede and introduce to Miles Davis's masterpieces ''Milestones ''and'' Kind of Blue''. ==Track listings== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (soundtrack)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
