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 subsequently issued it on his own new
Debut label. There was tension between the giants before, during, and after
the concert. Bird arrived without a horn and had to borrow a plastic alto (he
made it sound like gold). The hall was three-quarters empty (the promoters
had overlooked the coinciding heavyweight championship match between Marciano
and Walcott).
But the true heavyweights were onstage, and the results have been knocking
out the world of jazz ever since. Long live Charlie Chan and company! With
Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Charles Mingus, Max Roach.
