"And so, ladies and gentlemen, you've, ah, actually and finally heard the voice of, ah, Mr. B, the wonderful and sensational Charlie Yardbird Parker. If my boss heard that, Bird, I dunno." (Parker: "I'm sorry, I forgot what you told me to say.") "Yeah, but... You know, Charlie Parker has a wonderful voice, one of these days he'll get up and sing for us. Well, let's keep right on jumpin' as long as we're in that groove, and before we do I like to, I'd like for everybody to meet a gentleman and, gentleman that I think, well, you all ought to know, because he's our next heavyweight champion of the world, Ezzard Charles. Ladies and gentlemen, Ezzard Charles... Thanks for comin' down, man. There he is, our next heavyweight champ of the world. And everybody falls down to the Royal Roost, where you sit back and relax and dig the gone sounds and the gone people. How 'bout that, Ezzard? We keep right on going, and here's another one of the great things, one I hope you really enjoy, ah, should we do that one? 'Chasin' the Bird' -- or 'Carvin' the Bird'? (Parker: Chasin'.) Chasin' or Carvin'? (Parker, more emphatically: Chasing.) All right, he says 'Chasin' the Bird', so let's go with the Bird and 'Chasing the Bird'..."
