| "And once again -- all you cats and chicks, too, how 'bout that? -- after all, some of you listen to my show... (Laughter.) Once again we're gonna start our... modern concert, give you time to relax,
we've given you a whole lot of time, haven't we? What? Gonna have...? That I promise you, a whole lotta fun. Only because the New Jazz Foundation makes it so, bringing to you the greatest musicians in the country,
I know, ah, I'm almost sure now, by now, that you know the line-up. We're gonna start off with Dizzy Gillespie and his quintet, featuring Charlie Parker on alto -- I don't know whether Charlie has come in yet,
but we've got Don Byas workin', standing by. So we're gonna start with the Dizzy Gillespie quintet featuring Charlie Parker and Don Byas; Max Roach; Al Haig, the boy I've been tellin' you about, who right after
the concert leaves for Woody Herman's orchestra; and Curley Russell. I want you to watch Max Roach, he's really a fine drummer, he's really killin', and I know he's gonna knock you out. And right now here they are,
the boys, Dizzy Gillespie, his quintet, doing 'Bebop'..." |

| "Ah, all that pretty music, I stand back there and kill myself... At least I have a ball too, if you don't mind. Well, coming up we have the quintet once again, and a thing that Dizzy wrote,
and, uh, all the lyrics are out of this world. I mean, they're so... they're, they're really, they're really killer. So here's Dizzy Gillespie, his group again, with this masterpiece, but jumps like mad, 'Salt Peanuts'..." |

everybody a chance to really get with it. Uh, hold the phone... We have a little surprise for you, well, not really a surprise, it's just a... little change in program. How would you like to hear Sidney Catlett?
(Applause.) Sidney Catlett? That's our... That's our boy, that's our boy Sidney Catlett?" Catlett: "Your namesake." Symphony Sid: "Oh, name me. Uh, of course you know all know he's working over at Billy Rose's
Concert Varieties, and we're supposed to have him a little later in the program, however, he's gotta get back to the show, so here's Sidney Catlett with... what tune did you say?" Catlett: "A little thing we recorded
with Dizzy. What's the name of that thing, Dizzy? Tadd Dameron's tune?" (Laughter.) Gillespie: "Uhh..." Catlett: "Choking... Take that name back. That's a hell of a spot. Max, what you doing, man? Jeez..." |
