Davis was joined by tenor saxophonist Barney Wilen, pianist René Urtreger, bassist Pierre Michelot and drummer Kenny Clarke, and together they produced something hauntingly cool, a landmark in the meeting of jazz and cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Générique\" opens with Davis's muted trumpet hanging in the air like cigarette smoke over the city at night. \"Florence sur les Champs-Élysées\" follows the film's heroine as she wanders Paris, the melody lonely and searching, while \"Sur l'autoroute\" picks up the pace with a restless, driving pulse. \"Julien dans l'ascenseur\" is pure suspense, sparse and unsettling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition pairs the original soundtrack with the surviving session takes, offering a fascinating view of the music taking shape, alongside a hardcover book of liner notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor jazz and film lovers alike, it's an essential record, one that hinted at the modal direction Davis would explore next. Few soundtracks have ever captured a mood so completely, or aged so gracefully.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518467481905,"sku":"199957153126","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Miles_Davis-Ascenseur_Pour_Lechafaud_Deluxe_Edition_2CD.jpg?v=1794678222","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/miles-davis-ascenseur-pour-lechafaud-deluxe-edition-2cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
