Jazz at Massey Hall is a live album featuring a performance by "The Quintet" given on 15 May 1953 at Massey Hall in Toronto. The quintet was composed of five leading "modern" Jazz players of The '50s: Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Charles Mingus, and Max Roach. It was the only time that the five men recorded together as a unit and it was the last recorded meeting of Parker and Gillespie, having collaborated previously on albums such as Bird & Diz.A revolutionary recording, subsequent editions of this evening were released as a double-live album (featuring Bud Powell's piano trio set with Mingus and Roach), dubbed "The Greatest Jazz Concert Ever". The hyperbole is well-deserved, however, because at the time of this concert, each musician on the record was considered to be a principle instrumental innovator within the bebop movement.Tracklist:Vol. Onenote  When initially released, it was originally issued as two 10" LPs with the second Vol. being comprised of the trio recordings of Powell, Mingus and Roach from the same date, but not included on the initial release. "Perdido" (7:43) "Salt Peanuts" (7:39) "All the Things You Are" / "52nd Street Theme" (7:52) Vol. Three "Wee (Allen's Alley)" (6:41) "Hot House" (9:11) "A Night in Tunisia" (7:34)

Acclaimed Flop: Despite being considered one of the greatest jazz performances and the definitive recording in the bebop style, they had played as a boxing prize fight was taking place simultaneously, and as a result, the audience was so small that the Toronto New Jazz Society whom they were to share their profits with, was unable to pay the musicians' fees. The result being that all the musicians were given bad checks, with only Parker being able to cash his.

Epic Rocking: The shortest track on the album clocks in at over six and a half minutes, and the longest is over nine.
