Reposted • @thejazzestate On this day in 1953, Reposted • @thejazzestate

On this day in 1953, trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, saxophonist Charlie ‘Bird’ Parker, pianist Bud Powell, bassist Charles Mingus and drummer Max Roach met on the stage of Massey Hall in Toronto, Canada to record the historical album The Quintet: Jazz at Massey Hall. It was the only time that the five musicians recorded together as a unit and it was the last recorded meeting of Parker and Gillespie.

Parker played a Grafton saxophone on this date; he could not be listed on the original album cover for contractual reasons, so was billed as "Charlie Chan", an allusion to the fictional detective and to Parker's wife Chan.

Dubbed "The Greatest Jazz Concert Ever", the gig was recorded by Charles Mingus and was released on his label Debut Records. If Mingus hadn't recorded it, the gig might have ended up as little more than a jazz footnote. But the show was released later and became one of the greatest recorded live shows in the history of jazz music.
