MILES DAVIS The Complete Live At The Plugged Nickel 1965
(2026 UK/EU limited edition 10-LP Box Set - The
Complete Plugged Nickel Live 1965 documents one of the
most consequential live engagements in modern jazz,
capturing Miles Davis and the Second Great Quintet at a
moment of total creative risk. Across seven sets recorded at
Chicago's Plugged Nickel Café, the group - Miles Davis,
Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and
Tony Williams - deconstructs familiar repertoire and
rebuilds it in real time, redefining interaction, tempo, and
form. Produced by Teo Macero, the recordings reveal a band
deliberately destabilising its own material, pushing standards
into volatile, exploratory territory. While excerpts appeared
sporadically in the 1970s and 1980s, the full scope of the
performances only emerged decades later, where the
complete presentation was immediately recognised as one of
the greatest live jazz documents ever issued, earning the
Penguin Jazz Guide's rare "Crown". This 10-LP
edition mirrors the original complete sequence of
performances, cut from the high-resolution Mosaic masters
and pressed on 140-gram Black Vinyl. Each LP
is housed in its own newly designed jacket and presented in a
gold foil-embossed slipcase box. The set is accompanied by a
44-page, 12" × 12" Smyth-sewn book, featuring rare Plugged
Nickel photographs and extensive new liner notes with
track-by-track commentary by Syd Schwartz, alongside Bob
Blumenthal's original essay. Recommended)
