| SS: "...To bring to you three of the greatest gentlemen of modern music, the gentlemen that we presented about five, oh, about 1945, in their first concert at Carnegie Hall. You were born there?" DG: "I wasn't born then." SS: You wasn't born in 1945? I got news for you Birk [sic]" Unknown: "Birk?" SS: "I said 'Birk', not... 'Birk', the name is 'Birk', Jim... Watch your language, Jim, be cool, because we'll send Sephardic on you, (undecipherable). I think we ought to give these three gentlemen -- as a matter of fact the entire group... 'What is the first tune?' Why should we worry about what's the first tune? But what I think we ought to do is give each one of these three gentlemen a great big hand. First, ladies and gentlemen, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie real quick-like... 'Cause I don't know who's getting top billing this morning, but if I said it real, real f-- Watch your language! Dizzy Gillespie-Charlie Parker, Charlie Parker-Dizzy Gillespie... Bud Powell at the piano, ladies and gentlemen... On bass, we have, ah, Tommy Potter. Let's give Tommy a great big hand... I thought your name was Max... On drums, ladies and gentlemen, Sergeant Roy Haynes... Not a sergeant yet, but we'll, we'll get him in there. And those are the gentlemen that are here up until this coming Wednesday, and we'd love for you to come by and dig Dizzy and Bird and... Bud Powell. As I said before, three of the greatest gentlemen of modern music... What'll we do first?" CP: "'Blue 'n' Boogie'" SS: You say you will? That was made with, uh, Dexter, wasn't it, years ago? Here it is, 'Blue 'n' Boogie'..." |

| "A little while ago, while the boys were playing the thing, I was standing at the bar and I was talkin' to Terry Gibbs and he said to me just like I've been saying to you for the past few days, it never in life again probably will happen again, probably, where you can get three great gentlemen of modern music, guys like Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Bud Powell, Roy Haynes and uh, (Parker says 'Tommy Potter') Tommy Potter all together in one group. It's only because of Birdland that we can get such wonderful guys, gentlemen who've made modern music what it is today. I hope you enjoy it, hope you have a lot of fun. Don't forget, make it here at Birdland, the jazz corner of the world, Broadway at 52nd Street, a dollar admission -- how could you go wrong? Did you have a ball for just a dollar? Did you? (Shouts.) Look at them, all these fellas here, and girls, who had a lot of fun. Look, if you want to sit and make it with the sauce, I mean it's your fault. But anyhow, just a dollar you can come by and relax and have a wonderful, wonderful time. Right now, ladies and gentlemen, a thing that, uh, was originally written by the high priest of bop, Thelonious Monk, as done by Bird and Dizzy and the fellas, ''Round About Midnight'..." |

| SS: "''Round About Midnight', and I remember the year... I remember years ago when, uh, Dizzy was playing it with his big band, I think at the Spotlite on 52nd Street, Billie Holiday used to come and he [sic] says, 'one of these day I'm gonna record....' (Someone in the audience yells.) I remember that, she used to sit at the back of the bar and she'd say, 'One of these days I'm gonna sing ''Round About Midnight'. Never happened, but maybe, maybe one of these days it will. What are we gotta do, Bird? We got one more." CP: "'Tunisia'..." SS: 'A Night in Tunisia'? A great big hand for 'A Night in Tunisia' by a wonderful organization..." Potter and Haynes begin during the closing seconds of Sid's introduction |

| Voiceover from 0:06: "Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, I hope you who are listening in this morning have had a lot of fun listening to Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Tommy Potter, Roy Haynes. I hope you enjoyed George Kirby our impressionist here at Birdland, and I hope too that you've enjoyed the exciting sounds of Georgie Auld and the All-Stars. It's been a wonderful morning. Thanks a lot, ladies and gentlemen, and don't forget, if you're looking for musical fun, make it here at Birdland at the jazz corner of the world, Broadway at 52nd Street. Well, it looks like we gotta cut out, while we do, here's Bob Garrity and the news..." |
