Miles Davis: Ascenseur pour l’échafaud Soundtrack
I used to listen to jazz records and tap along on a table with sticks and rolled up newspapers. I would listen to Kenny Clarke play really fast brushes on the Ascenseur pour léchafaud soundtrack and think, “This is heavenly.” It’s much more alive and interesting than pop drumming. It swings like fuck.
