Ascenseur Pour L Echafaud

Enjoy this Compilation with the most successful Jazz singers like Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Lester Young, Art Blakey and many more!

Long before "La La Land" or "Birdman" Jazz was a perfect way to underscore and even enhance the action on the silver screen - not only in Hollywood, but all the way across Europe, too. Some of the best and most influential Original Jazz Soundtracks from the 1950s and early 1960s are documented in this unique 10 CD collection. Beginning with Miles Davis' iconic soundtrack to Louis Malle's "Ascenseur pour l'échafaud", whose leading actress Jeanne Moreau can be seen with the trumpeter on the cover of our box set, and leading all the way to Henry Mancini's score to Orson Welles' "Touch of Evil". In between you will enjoy American Jazz greats like Art Blakey, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Gerry Mulligan, and The Modern Jazz Quartet, but also legendary Polish composer Krzysztof Komeda with the score to one of Roman Polanski's first films "Knife In The Water", British Jazz-scores by Dizzy Reece and Johnny Dankworth, or soundtracks by French Jazz greats from Barney Wilen to Martial Solal.

Italian cinematic funk legends Calibro 35 are always in search of new territories to venture into. Their new journey is called ‘Jazzploitation’: a new EP paying tribute to jazz-funk, rare groove and pshychedelic cinematic-jazz, to be released next October 18th on digital platforms via Record Kicks and on limited edition clear vinyl 7".

For his album "Films", French guitarist Thibault Cauvin has written new arrangements for 18 hits from iconic film soundtracks. "City of Stars" from "La La Land", "Mystery of Love" from "Call Me By Your Name" or "The Imitation Game" are atmospheric guitar pieces full of breathtaking virtuosity. The album represents a special project of the heart for Thibault Cauvin. Cinema has accompanied him since childhood and is for him a place of longing for unlimited possibilities and a source of inspiration. Practically born with a guitar in his hand, Thibault Cauvin grew up in a family of musicians. He studied classical guitar at the Paris Conservatory and graduated with special honors. He is the only guitarist to date to have won 36 prizes in international guitar competitions, setting new standards in classical and modern guitar playing.

It all started with a commission from the Théâtre du Bois d’Arcy near Paris, to do a jazz performance with a theme. I spontaneously chose “cinema,” probably due to the strong connection between jazz standards and movies. It also felt like an amusing challenge to juxtapose genres and make each piece a kind of short film for the ears. Since that first performance, the project has rolled around in my head, hibernated, and periodically resurfaced. Today it has finally emerged from my mind’s egg.

Miles Dewey Davis III (May 26, 1926 – September 28, 1991) was an American trumpeter, bandleader, and composer. He is among the most influential and acclaimed figures in the history of jazz and 20th-century music. Davis adopted a variety of musical directions in a five-decade career that kept him at the forefront of many major stylistic developments in jazz.

The trumpet at the movies *Move *– the name of this album – is also the title of a concerto written by Baptiste Trotignon and here receiving its recording premiere; the work pays tribute to major composers of film music, whose iconic scores form the backdrop in this “audiofilm” starring the trumpet of Romain Leleu.
