Description
The Complete Miles Davis Plugged Nickel [Box Set, Original Recording Remastered, Limited Collector's Edition, Live, Extra Tracks] 10 Lps
This deluxe set reprises material originally released on LIVE AT... and COOKIN' AT THE PLUGGED NICKEL, restoring all the edits and missing solos. More significantly, THE COMPLETE LIVE AT THE PLUGGED NICKEL contains every note of music played on December 22-23, 1965--seven complete sets over two evenings. Stunning, revelatory music that in some ways exceeds the radical vigor of contemporaneous studio material on E.S.P. and MILES SMILES. The band's collective approach to rhythm and harmony transforms these songs into free-form expositions. Listening to this band blossom, you can hear why the great director waited on Shorter to become his new tenor star--and how they would influence each other.
There are so many extraordinary moments, it seems almost arbitrary to single out highlights. There's the giddy freedom of Shorter's line on "The Theme" from the very first set (and the way the rhythm section continually reshuffles the deck); the "aw-shucks" aplomb with which the band navigates the white water rapids of "Oleo" during the last set; and the classic elegance with which Miles begins the second set, second night--only to dissolve into the futuristic strains of "Agitation." Needless to say, the quintet's joy of discovery is surpassed only by the glint of jubilation and insight listeners will observe in each other as these historical performances become old friends.
Compilation producer: Michael Cuscuna.
Personnel: Miles Davis (trumpet); Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone); Herbie Hancock (piano); Ron Carter (bass); Tony Williams (drums).
Producer: Teo Macero.
The Lps are in like new condition. There is some minor wear on the bottom of the box.
