MILES DAVIS QUINTET Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud (1974 Japanese issue of the 1958 10-track stereo LP, featuring music from the soundtrack of the Louis Malle film. Although credited to the Quintet, this was pretty much a solo Miles project, recorded on December 4th 1957 in Paris. Using a compositional technique of his here for the first time, that of giving the band members more direction than specific parts for the score, he painstakingly made sure that the music fit the mood of the filmat any one time. Complete with obi, the picture sleeve and obi-strip show a little light foxing, however the vinyl is near mint PAT-1055)
