About this pressing

Recorded live in Toronto in May 1953, Jazz at Massey Hall is one of the most legendary concerts in jazz history. Billed as “The Quintet,” it brought together five giants of bebop: Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet), Bud Powell (piano), Charles Mingus (bass), Max Roach (drums), and Charlie Parker — credited under the alias Charlie Chan for contractual reasons — on alto saxophone.

Despite a modest audience turnout on the night, the music captured was anything but small — fiery, inventive, and full of interplay between the era’s most influential voices. Parker and Gillespie trade dazzling lines, Powell drives with intensity, and Mingus and Roach lock down the rhythm section with unshakable energy.

An essential live recording, Jazz at Massey Hall is a rare document of the bebop revolution performed by its true architects.
