As well as being France’s most highly-regarded contemporary jazz musician Louis Sclavis has a long history as a film composer, and this richly melodic album presents his original score for the restored version of a classic movie from the silent era. At the invitation of Bertrand Tavernier, Sclavis wrote new music to accompany Charles Vanel’s 1930 film, “Dans la nuit”. He assembled an exceptional band for this project, employing former colleague violinist Dominique Pifarély to interact with Vincent Courtois, cellist from the current Sclavis band. Drummer François Merville is featured on marimba as well as percussion, and the blend of sonorities is very special. “Dans la nuit” continues the great tradition of Music for Film on ECM. Recorded October 2000.
