Live at the Plugged Nickel- In late December 1965 recordings were made of two nights of performances by the Miles Davis quintet at the Plugged Nickel club in Chicago. The full recordings were released thirty years later.
The studio recordings of the quintet of Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams consist almost entirely of original compositions by members of the quintet. These club recordings show the group playing tunes which were either standards or had been in Davis's live repertoire for several years. The tunes are performed with substantially more rhythmic and harmonic freedom than on earlier recordings.
