Music from Louis Malle's film. A film and music that have now become legendary. Miles Davis's first film score is splendid. It was recorded in two days. The musicians followed Miles Davis's instructions and improvised to the images. Side B features 6 tracks that were not used for the film, but which remain beautiful. "... I was a jazz fanatic... The music for Ascenseur is unique. It is one of the rare film scores that was entirely improvised... I would play the sequences for which we wanted music, and he would start rehearsing with his musicians... the film was transformed by it... when the music was added, it suddenly took off." - Louis Malle
