French film Ascenseur pour l'échafaud... Soundtrack by Miles Davis...

The soundtrack recorded in 1957 at Le Poste Parisien Studio, for the French film "Ascenseur pour l'échafaud" directed by Louis Malle (1932-1995). Literally recorded while viewing unedited footages, Miles Davis (1926-1991) and band improvised, innovated, instituted what became quintessential foreign to American audiences; black&white scenes and sultry&seductive sounds of nylons and heels on concrete sidewalk and asphalt crosswalks in rhyme&rhymn to the master jazz trumpeter.

Diligently, modestly pour some artistically distilled whiskey, gin or cognac in complimentarily crafted crystal, on rocks or not, with sea-salt or not, with mint or not, then slowly, methodically enjoy your evening free of tyranny's covetousness, presumption and arrogance...

"And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of ALL his labour."

Ecclesiastes 3:13
