CD:

The most requested Miles Davis reissue arrives for his centennial in spectacular style. What began as a holiday residency at Chicagos Plugged Nickel Caf became the crucible where the Second Great Quintet forged its identity. Miles, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams delivered a masterclass in risk and invention, dismantling familiar tunes and rebuilding them on the fly. Producer Teo Macero captured every note across seven sets on December 22 and 23, 1965. Portions trickled out in the 70s and 80s, but only in the early 90s did Legacy reveal the full scope across seven and half hours of revelatorymusicinstantly hailed as one of the greatest live jazz recordings ever and earning the Penguin Jazz Guides coveted Crown. Now, 30 years later and six decades after the shows themselves, veteran fans finally get the reissue theyve demanded, and new fans get a chance to own one of the most mythologized live engagementsin jazz history. This new 8CD edition mirrors the original sequence. Each CD comes in its own newly-designed mini gatefold jacket, housed in a gold foil-embossed slipcase box. The 44 page perfect bound book includes rare Plugged Nickel photos and extensive new liner notes and track-by-track commentary by Syd Schwartz alongside Bob Blumenthals original essay.
