Vinyl: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 (CD) and Mosaic (LP) reveal the full scope of seven and half hours of revelatorymusicinstantly hailed as one of the greatest live jazz recordings ever, earning the Penguin Jazz Guides coveted Crown, and becoming pricey, secondary-market rarities. Now, 30 years later and six decades after the shows themselves, veteran fans finally get the repress theyve demanded, and new fans get a chance to own one of the most mythologized live engagementsin jazz history. This new 10LP edition mirrors the original sequence, cut from the high-res Mosaic masters and pressed on 140-gram black vinyl. Each LP comes in its own newly designed jacket, housed in a gold foil-embossed slipcase box. The 44 page 12x12 Smyth Sewn book includes rare Plugged Nickel photos and extensive new liner notes and track-by-track commentary by Syd Schwartz alongside Bob Blumenthals original essay.TRACKLISTINGVINYL TRACKLISTLP1 - December 22, 1965 1stSetSide AIf I Were A Bell 16:42Side BStella By Starlight 13:09Walkin 11:01LP2 - December 22, 1965 1stSet (contd)Side CI Fall In Love Too Easily 11:43The Theme 10:19Side D - December 22, 1965 2ndSetMy Funny Valentine 16:33LP3 - December 22, 1965 2ndSet (contd)Side EFour 15:05When I Fall In Love 10:44Side FAgitation 13:13Round Midnight 8:42LP4 - December 22, 1965 2ndSet (contd)Side GMilestones 14:04 The Theme 0:38December 22, 1965 3rdSetI Fall In Love Too Easily 11:53Side HAll Of You 14:38 Oleo 6:05LP5 December 22, 1965 3rdSet (contd)Side INo Blues 17:35Side JI Thought About You 11:03The Theme 8:05LP6 - December 23, 1965 1stSetSide KIf I Were A Bell 13:29Stella By Starlight 13:09Side LWalkin 11:01I Fall In Love Too Easily 12:07The Theme 2:50LP7 - December 23, 1965 2ndSetSide MAll Of You 10:39Agitation 10:48Side NMy Funny Valentine 13:52On Green Dolphin Street 12:48LP8 - December 23, 1965 2ndSet (contd)Side OSo What 13:36The Theme 3:28Side P - December 23, 1965 3rdSetWhen I Fall In Love 13:39Milestones 11:49LP9 - December 23, 1965 3rdSet (contd)Side QAutumn Leaves 11:56I Fall In Love Too Easily 11:43Side RNo Blues 20:06The Theme 0:22LP10 - December 23, 1965 4thSetSide SStella By Starlight 14:16All Blues 12:18Side TYesterdays 15:00The Theme 4:51
