Jazz Centre celebrates Miles Davis' 100th anniversary with Louis Malle's classic Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (Lift to the Scaffold), featuring the jazz legend's original improvised soundtrack.
Miles Davis revolutionized modern jazz in the post-war era and left an indelible mark on music history. His iconic album Kind of Blue fundamentally transformed jazz, while his trumpet produced some of the 20th century's most boundary-breaking and beautiful sounds.
Program: Music historian Torben Amstrup introduces the film. Following the screening, there is an opening reception for a Miles Davis exhibition, where you can explore photographs, reviews, selected records and historical materials. Local artist Preben Klitgaard's new portrait of Miles Davis will also be on display.
Practical info: Screening on Sunday, November 22 at 2 p.m. at Cinevista at Jazz Centre. Admission 75 kr.
