This spring, Miles Davis would have celebrated his hundredth birthday. 32 years before his death (1991), the genius played the score for Louis Malle's classic * L'ascenseur pour l'échafaud* live, improvising . Writer and jazz historian Ashley Kahn, Grammy winner, provides the introduction.
Miles Davis's muted trumpet, the imperturbable face of Jeanne Moreau: if jazz and film noir merged anywhere, it is in *Ascenseur pour l'échafaud *. Jeanne Moreau plays Florence, the mistress of the disillusioned war veteran Julien. He works for her husband, an arms dealer. The lives of the characters descend into chaos when Julien, incited by Florence, shoots his boss dead with a revolver.
