Win the Miles Davis – The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965 Box Set on Vinyl or CD

Miles Davis’ Second Great Quintet didn’t just play jazz — they deconstructed it. Over two nights at Chicago’s Plugged Nickel club in December 1965, Miles, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams dismantled their own repertoire in real time, embracing instability and risk in what they called their “anti-music” experiment. The result is one of the most revered live documents in jazz history, and it’s finally returning to print after nearly 30 years.

Columbia/Legacy Recordings are today releasing Miles Davis – The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965, and to celebrate, we’re giving away four (4) copies: two grand prize winners will receive the 10xLP box set, and two runners-up will take home the 8xCD edition. Enter below or here!

The collection presents the complete Plugged Nickel recordings — over seven hours of music — that have been out of print since a 1995 Mosaic Records limited edition LP box set. Now housed in newly designed packaging featuring rare archival photography, this new versions includes liner notes by Syd Schwartz and classic writing from jazz historian Bob Blumenthal, offering fresh perspective on performances that have only grown in stature since their original release.
