After "Nefertiti" (1968), Miles Davis began to move away from a fully acoustic sound and toward what would be called fusion. Listen to "Tout de Suite," from "Filles de Kilimanjaro" (1968), as they make their way forward:

Miles Davis - The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965
Slowly working my way through this huge 10LP set of the Second Great Quintet (Miles Davis/Herbie Hancock/Wayne Shorter/Ron Carter/Tony Williams) push-push-PUSHing towards a new way of playing, namely: if you're bored with what's expected, do the opposite.
It can skirt right up to free playing, but then gets reined in...

My Funny Valentine: Miles Davis in Concert is a live album by the jazz trumpeter and composer Miles Davis. It was recorded at a concert at the Philharmonic Hall of Lincoln Center, New York City, on February 12, 1964, and released through Columbia Records the following year.
My Funny Valentine Review by Scott Yanow
Miles Davis' concert of February 12, 1964, was divided into two LPs, with all of the ballads put on My Funny Valentine. These five lengthy tracks (specifically, "All of You," "Stella by Starlight," "All Blues," "I Thought About You," and the title cut) put the emphasis on the lyricism of Davis, along with some strong statements from tenor saxophonist George Coleman and freer moments from the young rhythm section of pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Tony Williams. This hour-long LP complements the up-tempo romps of Four & More.

Once Upon a Dream is the fourth studio album by the rock band the Rascals, released February 19, 1968.
In his review for Allmusic, music critic Thom Jurek, who highly praised the album, noted the influence of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and wrote that the Rascals "put their own spin on it by adding their trademark blue-eyed soul and jazz influences to the mix of psychedelia... All details aside, though, a listen to this platter is startling. Its sophisticated orchestral and vocal arrangements are remarkable even in the 21st century... It's an under-celebrated masterpiece of the psychedelic era and belongs next to Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper's on the shelf because it is easily as sophisticated, and once heard in its entirety, can never be forgotten." - Wikipedia

Paul Desmond, Pure Desmond, 1975 on CTI Records
Desmond (who composed Take Five and was a critical part of the Dave Brubeck Quartet) playing here with Ron Carter, Ed Bickert, and Connie Kay – recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in 1974 and produced by Creed Taylor.
One of five albums Desmond put out on CTI in the late 60s and 70s. including Summertime and Skylark (with Gabor Szabo). It’s very fusion, and features Ed Bickert on guitar as much as (or more so than) Desmond.
My copy, via Crossroads Records in Portland OR, is a 1975 issue with Van Gelder in the runouts.

Miles in Berlin is a live album by Miles Davis from a performance at the Berliner Philharmonie on September 25, 1964 with his "Second Great Quintet," featuring tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams, marking their first recorded work.
Miles in Berlin Review by Matt Collar
...While there isn't a huge difference in the sound of this band or choice of songs from the group that recorded Seven Steps to Heaven or Miles Davis in Europe, there is a palpable sense of creative abandon in Davis' performance as well as synergy to the group sound that seems to foreshadow the innovative music to come.

A Bluish Bag is an album by jazz saxophonist Stanley Turrentine consisting of two sessions recorded for the Blue Note label in 1967 and arranged by Duke Pearson, the first featuring Donald Byrd and the second McCoy Tyner, among others.
The Allmusic review by Steve Leggett awarded the album 3½ stars and states:
A Bluish Bag doesn't rewrite the book on Turrentine, but it shows that, whether large ensemble or small, he always brought his game.
— Steve Leggett, Allmusic - Wikipedia

Stan Getz & Bill Evans, Previously Unreleased Recordings, 1974 on Verve
Sometimes just referred to as Stan Getz & Bill Evans, this was recorded in 1964 but not released until 1974. Ron Carter (A side) and Richard Davis (B side) on bass, with Elvin Jones on drums. Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Englewood Cliffs NJ and produced by Creed Taylor.
There’s a whole series of “Previously Unreleased Recordings” advertised on the rear jacket. Beautiful sounding LP well packaged.
My copy—via Worcester Record Riot—is of the 2024 UMG/UMe reissue, overseen by Chad Kassem from Acoustic Sounds.

Miles Davis - Live at the Plugged Nickel: December 23, 1965, Second Set
In anticipation of the complete set being released soon, this was released on RSDBF2025, and since I just saw the great Ron Carter, it seemed like the right thing to put on.
This is part of the legendary set of Plugged Nickel shows where Miles' 2nd great quartet, a bit bored, decided to shake the box they were in, and great music came out.
