Introduction (Don Cameron and Parker)

DC: "Our outstanding jazz artist this evening on the show, a man that we're very proud to be able to bring to you people here in Canada, possibly the man who's considered tops on alto saxophone, Mr. Charlie Parker... Good to see you, Bird". CP: "Good to be here." DC: "Is this your first trip to Canada?" CP: "In many a year, yeah." DC: "Many a year. Well, how wouldya like to kick off with something in a nice bouncy tempo to get us all warmed up?" CP: "All right, I think first I'd pick a tune that was recorded on the Dial label in 1948, 'Cool Blues'." DC: "'Cool Blues', here it is. Let's go..."

Introduction (Don Cameron)

"Well, we want you to save some of that applause, 'cause the next gentleman is also all the way up from New York City, plays a fine tenor sax, Mr. Brew Moore. Brew, come on up here, take a bow. Just before Brew made his appearance now, I asked him what he'd like to play, and he said it's called 'Bernie's Tune'. Maybe you'll recognize it; however, it goes something like this, 'Bernie's Tune'. Gentlemen?"

DC: "We promised you another appearance by Charlie Parker. Come on up here, Charlie, with that horn of yours. We seem to have, ah, got ourselves into the habit, Charlie, of asking our artists, ah, to introduce their own selections. How 'bout it, what're you gonna do for a second one tonight?" CP: "Well, I think we were thinkin' we'll try another one of the Dial label's released about forty, forty-eight, 1948, that is, let's try, uh, 'Don't Blame Me'..."

"Well let's say we, ah, let's say we keep Charlie Parker on stage, bring back for a final ensemble selection Mr. Brew Moore on tenor sax. Brew, grab your horn, come on back up here, and I think that now that we have everybody assembled we might kick loose with a tune that seems to be a favorite with jazz musicians, a little ditty called 'Perdido'. Here it is..."

"Now, to the gentle strains of 'Perdido' we must unfortunately bring this particular program to a close. I think we created a small bit of musical history tonight in Montreal, with featured work by Brew Moore, Charlie Parker, Buzzy Bley, Neil Michaud, let's see, Dick Garcia, and Ted Paskert on drums."
