"Ladies and gentleman, as you know we have something special down here at Birdland this evening ... a recording for Blue Note Records. When you applaud for the different passages, your hands go right out over the records there. So, when they play them over and over, throughout over the country, you may be some place and say, well, uh, that's my hand on those records there, that I dug down at Birdland. We're bringing back to the bandstand at this time, ladies and gentlemen, the great Art Blakey and his wonderful group featuring the new trumpet sensation Clifford Brown, Horace Silver on piano, Lou Donaldson on alto, Curley Russell is on bass. Let's get together and bring Art Blakey to the bandstand with a great big round of applause here! How about a big hand here for Art Blakey! Thank you!"
