The most coveted Miles Davis reissue arrives in spectacular style to mark his 100th birthday. What began as a Christmas gig at Chicago's Plugged Nickel Café evolved into a melting pot where the Second Great Quintet forged its identity. Miles, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams delivered a masterclass in risk-taking and inventiveness, deconstructing and spontaneously reassembling familiar melodies. Producer Teo Macero recorded every note of the seven sets on December 22 and 23, 1965. While some of it was released in the 1970s and 1980s, it wasn't until the early 1990s that Legacy (CD) and Mosaic (LP) released the full seven and a half hours of revealing music—an instant acclaim as one of the greatest live jazz recordings of all time, earning the coveted "Crown" of the Penguin Jazz Guide and becoming a highly sought-after rarity on the secondary market.
