The Quintet - Jazz at Massey Hall - OJC LP

Legendary Jazz Summit Featuring Parker, Gillespie, Powell, Mingus & Roach

This modern jazz summit meeting in Toronto has been called "the greatest jazz concert ever." We owe the survival of the music to Charles Mingus, who, along with Max Roach, taped the concert and issued it on his own Debut label. Bird arrived without a horn and borrowed a plastic alto — and made it sound like gold. The true heavyweights were onstage, and the results have been knocking out the jazz world ever since.
