"Greetings and modulations, friends. Today we're turning over our entire program to some recordings of a really wonderful modern jazz concert that took place last Christmas night in Carnegie Hall. And since we have a lot of music to squeeze into the available time, let's turn over the proceedings immediately to the gentleman who was master of ceremonies at that concert, one of America's most popular disk jockeys, Symphony Sid..."

After a snare-drum burst during Haig's solo, Parker says "Salt Peanuts is next" (4:25-4:26)

Note:

This concert features also Miles Davis (tp), Bennie Green and Kai Winding (tb), Sonny Stitt and Lee Konitz (as),
Stan Getz and Warne Marsh (ts), Serge Chaloff (bars), AI Haig, Jimmy Jones, Bud Powell and Lennie Tristano (p),
Tommy Potter, Curly Russell and Joe Shulman (b), Roy Haynes, Jeff Morton and Max Roach (d) and Sarah Vaughan, vcl.
On many issues as recorded on Sunday, December 25, 1949.

- b: on many issues interrupted from the 7th bar of the 5th solo till the 9th bar of the 6th chorus of Parker by
Leonard Feather, who says that Parker is quoting from Louis Armstrong's "West End Blues".
Feather's talk was dubbed in afterwards. CD/Jass J-CD-16 is without the Leonard Feather interruption.

- e: someone (Parker?) mentions the tune "Salt Peanuts", presumably a briefing for the tune to be played next.
Whether it was played - it was usually used as a closer by Parker - is not yet known.
Another possibility is that it is merely a comment or acknowledgement that Roy Haynes has just worked
the "SaIt Peanuts" riff into his accompaniment to AI Haig’s solo.

16" ET VOA-746 [J-63] a, b, c 収録

16" ET VOA-747 [J-74] d, e 収録

この時の演奏を録音したVoice of Americaの16インチ・トランスクリプションの2枚です。この他に VOA-748 [J-65] レニー・トリスターノ・セクステット/カーネギー・ホール・コンサートが有るようです。左の写真は16インチETと12インチLPの比較写真です。

このコンサートの模様を収録したレコードは10インチ、12インチ各種発売されていますが、冒頭にレナード・フェザーのアナウンスと、シンフォニー・シッドの メンバー紹介が入りますが、これが入ったLPと入っていないLPがあります。上の VOA トランスクリプションには、アナウンスは入っておりません。
  さらにb, "Cheryl"の途中パーカーのソロの後、フェザー氏がルイ・アームストロングの"West End Blues"を引用している、と話している部分も、同様に入って いるレコードと入っていないものがあります。
ここからは、推測ですがレナード・フェザーの海外向けのVOAラジオ放送 "JAZZ CLUB USA" シリーズとして、このVOAトランスクリプションを使用し放送された ものを、エアーチェックし、レコード化した音源が存在するのではと思う。ではこれは何時放送されたのでしょうか?。疑問です。


10インチLPで、フランスのピアニスト、アンリ・ルノーが仲間のコレクター向けに20枚制作したと言われる "Hot club du Lyon" (no Art cover, unnumbered) には、VOA ETと全く同じ5曲が収録されています。
