Miles Davis – Lift to the Scaffold -The Complete Original Recordings-

Description

Amazingly enough, Miles Davis and his combo improvised the music for the soundtrack while actually watching the film sequences. The various takes from these highly unusual recording sessions were then cut and olished with echo effects to produce the short film soundtrack as we know it. Now the complete, original recordings, parts of which have never been released before, are available for the very first time on LP – pure and unfiltered!
It is tempting to spend and evening comparing the “raw material” with the “final product”. Is not the original version “earthier”? Is not the nocturnal atmosphere of the “Champs Elysee” in the studio sad and gloomy enough? It’s all a question of taste. But one thing is certain: it’s quite ingenious.
