Jazz At Massey Hall (+1 Bonus Track) (Centennial Celebration Collection) Limited edition

This release presents the complete widely celebrated

Massey Hall concert, performed in Canada by an all-star

quintet of bebop founders which would never be reunited

again. It appears here in the actual order of performance

and without the added bass and echo which darkened the

sound quality of some issues. As a bonus, we present a

version of "Bass-ically Speaking". Although the track

was recorded at a New York studio, Mingus originally

included it, with dubbed applause, as part of the Massey

Hall concert.
