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.CD TRACKLISTCD1 - December 22, 1965 1stSetIf I Were A Bell 16:42Stella By Starlight 13:09Walkin 11:01I Fall In Love Too Easily 11:43The Theme 10:19CD2-December 22, 1965 2ndSetMy Funny Valentine 16:33Four 15:05When I Fall In Love 10:44CD3 - December 22, 1965 2ndSet (contd)Agitation 13:03Round Midnight 8:42Milestones 14:04The Theme 0:38CD4 - December 22, 1965 3rdSetAll Of You 14:38Oleo 6:05I Fall In Love Too Easily 11:53No Blues 17:35I Thought About You 11:03The Theme 8:05CD5 - December 23, 1965 1stSetIf I Were A Bell 13:29Stella By Starlight 13:09Walkin 11:01I Fall In Love Too Easily 12:07The Theme 2:50CD6 - December 23, 1965 2ndSetAll Of You 10:39Agitation 10:48My Funny Valentine 13:52On Green Dolphin Street 12:48So What 13:36The Theme 3:28CD7 - December 23, 1965 3rdSetWhen I Fall In Love 13:39Milestones 11:49Autumn Leaves 11:56I Fall In Love Too Easily 11:43No Blues 20:06The Theme 0:22CD8 - December 23, 1965 4thSetStella By Starlight 14:16All Blues 12:18Yesterdays 15:00The Theme 4:51
