If You Like...The Quintet at Massey Hall

It's no wonder the (mostly) live album known as The Quintet: Jazz at Massey Hall is so beloved. The playful bop attack of saxophonist Charlie Parker, trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, pianist Bud Powell, bassist Charles Mingus, and drummer Max Roach absolutely shines. Here, we move past the jam session and into the careers of the titans behind the masterwork, and a few of their associates, too.
