THE QUINTET Jazz at Massey Hall, Volume 1
Bud Powell, Charlie Parker (billed as Charlie Chan), Charles Mingus, Dizzy Gillespie and Max Roach
Catalog Number: DLP-2 Matrix Number: DLP2-A 19 H Note: Previous owner’s name stickered on back cover.
“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's Jazz at Massey Hall. Charlie Parker (listed on the original album sleeve as "Charlie Chan") 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...each musician on Jazz at Massey Hall was considered to be the principle instrumental innovator within the bebop movement. All of these musicians were influenced by Charlie Parker, and their collective rapport is magical."
