A happy encounter between jazz and film that rises from the depths of darkness
The complete version of the legendary score improvised by Miles Davis for the film "Elevator to the Gallows."
Miles's trumpet captures the atmosphere of 1950s Paris with a solitary, sharp voice. The tension born from his close dialogue with Barne Willan and Kenny Clarke is dramatic enough even without the visuals. The quiet passion that lingers in the sound and the beauty of his improvisation, which seems meticulously calculated, shine a unique light in the history of jazz.
