Movie with jazz, an old story

I haven't touched anything other than the piano jazz itself. But on the second thought that there were so many things attached to the jazz music, right? Dancing is one, nice dinner of course, and it should go along nicely with your love whisper.

There are lots of great movies that are featured in the movie. Or the jazzy version of movie themes that remind me of those beautiful days in my life. The first one was Miles Davis playing the BGM for Ascenseur pour L'echafaud. Jeanne Moreau walking around the night street. The movie was of 1957. Most of you weren't born, huh!

We, group members of Modern Jazz Lovers were fascinated by beautiful Ms Morrow and the rumor that Miles improvised the music at the scene. Yes, those were the most beautiful days for me, the 1960es.



Since I have raised the name of Miles, tell me your opinion. Who was the best match pianist for him?
Well, since I love his recording of "So what", Red Garland is my choice. Miles had changed his style so much. He should have selected the best available and the best fit for him whenever.
