When five of the most celebrated jazz musicians of the age get together for a one-time concert you would expect something special. So when you have Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Max Roach, and Charles Mingus, each a legend in his own right, joining together on the stage of Toronto's Massey Hall in May of 1953, it is not strange that many consider their performance perhaps the greatest jazz concert ever.
This concert was held at Massey Hall in Toronto, Canada on May 15, 1953, and was recorded by bassist Charles Mingus, who overdubbed some additional bass parts and issued it on his own Debut label as THE QUINTET. Charlie Parker performed on a plastic alto, pianist Bud Powell was stone drunk from the opening bell, and Dizzy Gillespie kept popping offstage to check on the status of the first Rocky Marciano-Jersey Joe Walcott heavyweight championship bout.
