This is a bit dodgy. Aside from the momentous yet widely available score to Lift to the Scaffold, the rest of The Cinema of Miles Davis is made up of selections of well-documented public domain material of largely classic Miles recordings over a period from 1953-1960 that have been used as incidental music for films. There's tracks lifted from albums by Miles 1950s septet, quartet, quintet (they're featured on the soundtrack to three Lenny Bruce-based pics including Bob Fosse's Lenny (1974) and Anthony Minghella's The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)), ‘Blue in Green’ from the famous Kind of Blue quintet used in Sally Potter's Ginger & Rosa (2012), don't you know, and the Miles/Gil Orchestra's Sketches of Spain recording from Pedro Almodovar's High Heels (1991). Included as well are two monologues: the iconoclastic comedian Lenny Bruce's conspiracy stand-up What Is? and Jack Kerouac's ‘The Beat Generation’ from John Antonelli's Jack Kerouac – The Movie (1985). No Miles then, but the point being presumably to connect rather tenuously his music to the 1950s beat milieu. There's unfortunately no motivation on the part of the CD curators to inform or offer any insights as to why Miles Davis tracks might be used in these films either, with the sleeve notes basically little more than quotations mostly about the flicks rather than the music (aside from a few quotes referring to the Lift to the Scaffold soundtrack.) One of the films listed, Almodovar's Flower of My Secret (1995), isn't even listed as a film in the sleeve notes tracklist – evidence of a sloppiness that goes beyond mere presentation. You can guess that a search of Miles Davis on IMDB turns up a whole string of tracks, including those featured here, that have been used as backdrop for cinema in the past 50 years or so. With all that, we're left with a rather cynical and meaningless attempt to rebadge another CD package of a best-selling jazz legend.
