Voiceover from 0:10: "And so ladies and gentlemen, once again we take our WMCA microphones right down to the Royal Roost, the Metropolitan Bopera House, on Broadway between 47th and 48th Street, and bring you the gonest. Where you can sit back and relax from 9:30 in the evening until four in the morning and dig the greats of all time. All we do is ask you to come down and see if you don't have a wonderful time. And to start our 3:03 to 4:00 edition of the show, as we do every Friday night, Saturday morning, we bring you the great Bird, Charlie Parker and the All-Stars, Charlie Parker, let's give him a great big hand... Charlie Parker and the All-Stars, featuring Max Roach on drums, Al Haig at the piano, Tommy Potter on bass, Kenny Dorham on trumpet, and without wasting too much time, let's all have a gang of fun with 'Groovin' High'..."

Parker plays miserably on this number -- unstable and halting in the ensemble, and after an aborted solo (0:35-0:39) Dorham enters. Dorham and Roach exchanges before the out chorus (2:33-3:02)

"And so, ladies and gentlemen, we've been telling you about the great and wonderful Harry Belafonte. We're gonna bring you the great Harry Belafonte and the new sounds, the wonderful sound, the new discovery here at the Royal Roost, featuring Al Haig at the piano, Tommy Potter on bass, and the wonderful and sensational Max Roach on drums..."
