Contradictory accounts of Miles Davis' creation of the soundtrack to Louis Malle's film noir Ascenseur pour l'Échafaud have all become part of its legend. Rarely has a soundtrack been so decisive. Nearly 70 years on, beyond the myth, this taut, feverish recording, imbued with extreme dramatic tension, remains one of the Miles' finest records.

The basic outline remains: Jean-Paul Rappeneau suggested to Malle asking Miles Davis to create the film's soundtrack who agreed to record the music after attending a private screening. Davis was performing at the Club Saint-Germain in Paris in November 1957 and 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. Bassist Pierre Michelot recalled in 1988 that "Miles just asked us to play two chords, D minor and C7, 4 bars of each, ad lib." Typically, Miles planned very little but know exactly what he wanted.

This beautiful re-issue of the original recording is pressed on 180g vinyl at GZ, and packaged in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket with Boris Vian's original liner notes and Jean-Pierre Leloir's iconic studio photo of Miles and Jeanne Moreau, and an essay on the circumstances that led to this out-of-the ordinary music by Franck Bergerot.

Great shirt!
Size: X-Large, Color: Purple Buffalo
Love it! Light, stretchy, and breathable! The shirt itself is so nice to wear, I’ll probably buy other patterns! I bought a dozen of these in different sizes for a golf tournament. Sizes ran true. Nice athletic fit! This pattern made us just the right amount of obnoxious out on the course! Great vibrant violet color from afar, cool pattern up close!

Shoe
Size: 10-11 Women/9-10 Men, Color: 1a-stripe Black-2
These beach shoes have been super comfortable and practical. They fit well, are lightweight, and the sole has great grip, even on wet surfaces. I used them at the beach and by the pool, and they protected my feet really well from hot sand and rocks. They also dry quickly and are easy to carry.

Good, quick, easy water shoes.
Size: 8-9 Women/7-8 Men, Color: 1a-stripe Black-2
For the price? Great little water shoes for a small body of water! Size is accurate, material is breathable, the shoes are lightweight and no cuts/scrapes when out of the water noted. Good buy!

Comfortable to Wear
Size: 11.5-12.5 Women/10.5-11.5 Men, Color: 2c-1172 Watermarks
These are easy to put on and extremely comfortable. The material seems thicker than my old water shoes, so should last longer. The soles provide good grip, even in a swimming pool, which makes them ideal for use in activities like water aerobics. The color flashes on the shoes make them interesting and more appealing than plain black. Highly recommended

Comfy Pool Shoes
Size: 11.5-12.5 Women/10.5-11.5 Men, Color: 1a-stripe Black-2
I’ve had these pool shoes a couple of months now. Here are my thoughts. Pros: Inexpensive, comfortable, fit well, dry fast, protect feet for you pool joggers. Cons: The inner sole gets loose, the material around the toes breaks down. Bottom line: For the money they’re worth it. Just don’t expect them to last a long time.
