"And now, like Bird, who ha... (splice) ...the great artist, Sarah Vaughan. And how lovely you look... Why don't we, ah, sorta like, do one of the old ones that you made a little while back, one of the up things. But first, let's bring out Charlie 'Yardbird' Parker, ladies and gentlemen... And, uh, Stan Getz... Ah, we're gonna really make this room swing. And ladies and gentlemen, one of the older tunes I hope you enjoy, 'I Cried for You'..."

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, just in case we have a few squares in the house, I'd like to remind you that I'm a disk jer..., ah, jockey. I'm known as the all-night, all-frantic one, where everything is crazy on JZ. From midnight to 5:45 we play the sides, the records we hope you enjoy, directly from Birdland. And if you listen to the program, you probably have heard us talk about a young gentleman who's had an idea, to blow in front of strings. Well, the idea has finally come true, and here for the first time at the Apollo stage, Mr. Jazz himself, let's give him a great big hand, Charlie 'Yardbird' Parker and Strings..."

"And now, ladies and gentlemen, like Bird, who had a great big idea, a young lady had an idea -- came from Newark, New Jersey; worked around in church choirs... Made her debut here in the Apollo Theatre, one of the amateur hours -- broke it up -- went with Earl 'Fatha' Hines band, then with Billy Eckstine, and now on her own... Probably the greatest female vocalist we have today, let's bring her on with a great big hand, Sarah Vaughan, ladies and gentlemen..."
