  • Description

    This CD contains French composer and pianist Michel Legrand's album 'Legrand Jazz' in its entirety, featuring his first recorded collaboration with Miles Davis. As a bonus, the complete Miles Davis/Barney Wilen suite for the French movie soundtrack, 'Ascenseur pour l'echafaud', is added.

    DownBeat, 1958 on 'Legrand Jazz':

    "The roster is impressive, covering most of the modern greats and near-greats. The Miles sides are superb. The writing is imaginative, tinged with the languid air of Gil Evans at his most soulful, and yet with something more." - Dom Cerulli

    Down Beat, 1958 on 'Ascenseur pour l'echafaud':

    "An absolutely fascinating release. Some of the very best, if not the best, Miles's solos are contained on this LP." - Ralph J. Gleason
