  • We Say...

    In 1953, the Toronto Jazz Society invited that year's poll-winners to play together in a concert — and they did. Charlie Parker, alto sax; Dizzy Gillespie, trumpet; Bud Powell, piano; Charles Mingus, bass; Max Roach, drums — if you know anything about jazz, you know I don't need to say any more, except this: The concert matched the most ecstatic expectations; and, unbeknownst to his bandmates, Mingus recorded it and released it on his own label. Thank God. The five pioneers of modern jazz, playing at their peak maturity. There is nothing else like it.
