“Ascenseur pour l'Échafaud” is a legendary noir crime film that is still captivating after almost 70 years. The score by Miles Davis is just as timeless, creating a special mood with melancholic cool jazz. This classic is now reissued in a new 180g LP edition in a gatefold tip-on jacket with the original liner notes by Boris Vian and Jean-Pierre Leloir's iconic studio photo of Miles Davis and Jeanne Moreau. The LP also contains an insert featuring an essay by Franck Bergerot about the genesis of this extraordinary album.
