Ascenseur pour l'échafaud

At Barbican Centre

Barbican

🎺Score recorded in one spontaneous overnight session
🎬A key film on the edge of the French New Wave
🏗️Barbican's Brutalist architecture is part of the draw

Miles Davis improvised this entire score in one bleary Paris all-nighter, and you can feel it in every frame. Louis Malle's 1958 noir pulses with spare, restless trumpet that basically invented the mood for modern cinematic jazz.
