What happened \u003cbr\u003eover two nights in a tiny, unassuming Chicago club under a bakery was a fascinating and \u003cbr\u003eunplanned documentation of a pivotal moment in the evolution of Miles Davis's leadership and \u003cbr\u003esound. Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music \u003cbr\u003eEntertainment, today announce the reissue of these legendary recordings: THE COMPLETE \u003cbr\u003eLIVE AT THE PLUGGED NICKEL 1965. Arriving January 30, 2026, as a cornerstone moment \u003cbr\u003ein the year-long celebration of Miles Davis’ Centennial to come next year, this comprehensive \u003cbr\u003ecollection will be available as a 10LP or 8CD box set. Pre-orders begin today. \u003cbr\u003eAs a preview of the larger collection, a standalone 2LP set, Live At The Plugged Nickel: \u003cbr\u003eDecember 23, 1965 – Second Set, will be released for RSD Black Friday on November 28.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recordings capture Miles Davis’s Second Great Quintet—featuring Wayne Shorter, Herbie \u003cbr\u003eHancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams—at an inflection point. Wayne Shorter was just over a \u003cbr\u003eyear into his tenure, and the group, fresh off of recording E.S.P., was solidifying into what would \u003cbr\u003ebecome the most transformative small group in jazz. What unfolded on the stage of the Chicago \u003cbr\u003eclub was not just a performance, but a provocation. Sparked by a pact instigated by drummer \u003cbr\u003eTony Williams to play \"anti-music,\" the band actively subverted expectations, turning their \u003cbr\u003ewell-tread setlist inside out. As Miles would later put it, “We found ways to make the old music \u003cbr\u003esound as new as the new music we were recording.” It is the sound of the Second Great Quintet \u003cbr\u003ebecoming itself—alive, unstable, and always mid-mutation. \u003cbr\u003eOriginally released in 1995 as a Mosaic Records limited-edition LP box set, The Complete Live \u003cbr\u003eat the Plugged Nickel has been out of print for nearly three decades. The new 10LP edition \u003cbr\u003erecreates the Mosaic musical presentation and offers the complete performances—over \u003cbr\u003eseven hours of music—in a newly designed slipcase featuring ten individual jackets and a \u003cbr\u003e40-page booklet. An 8CD edition will also be available. Both formats feature new liner notes by \u003cbr\u003eSyd Schwartz, who unpacks the radical spirit of the performances, as well as classic material by \u003cbr\u003ejazz historian Bob Blumenthal. \u003cbr\u003e“The Plugged Nickel tapes don’t just capture great performances. They document a band \u003cbr\u003erevolutionizing improvisation in real time, welcoming surprise, discarding certainty, and turning \u003cbr\u003e'wrong' notes into revelations,” remarks Schwartz in the new liner notes. “What unfolded on that \u003cbr\u003estage has become one of the most mythologized stretches in post-bop history.” \u003cbr\u003eThe release has only grown in stature since its initial issue. The Guardian hailed it as \"Maybe \u003cbr\u003ethe best-ever representation of 'the second great quintet' at work...reinventing small-band jazz \u003cbr\u003ewith an all-but-psychic flexibility of timing and on-the-fly harmonising.\" \u003cbr\u003eSixty years later, The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965 returns, humming like a live \u003cbr\u003ewire and daring a new generation of listeners to rethink what's possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MASTERWORKS","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl Box Set","offer_id":53201691115847,"sku":"TRI-66940","price":190.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD Box Set","offer_id":53201691181383,"sku":"TRI-66941","price":69.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/b820c1f5502446b552345553daaa8358_b8e01b34-0763-4c53-93f2-8ba1cd45e42f.jpg?v=1769315725","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/miles-davis-the-complete-plugged-nickel-live-1965-limited-edition","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
