Symphony Sid Announces the Band (Live at the Royal Rooster, New York, September 4, 1948)

[Spoken: Symphony Sid]
And right now, ladies and gentlemen, back to the Royal Rooster
Where the life and the love of music with that drum groove
Right here at 1580 Broadway between 47th and 48th street
Just right out at the Strand Theater
Where you can sit back and relax and dig some of the wonderful things
And right now, ladies and gentlemen we bring you something new in modern music
We bring you impressions in modern music with the gran- great Miles Davis and his wonderful new organization
Featuring Max Roach on drums, John Lewis on piano, Al McKibbon on bass, Lee Konitz on alto
Gerry Mulligan on baritone, you all remember Gerry for the disc-jockey jump he did with, eh, Gene Cooper and the band
Bill Barber on tuba
That's right, Bill Barber on tuba, Junior Collins on French horn and Mike Zwerin on trombone
Ladies and gentlemen, let's give them a big hand for something new in modern jazz
Ladies and gentlemen, the Miles Davis Organization as they do for you a John Lewis arrangement that fai- their first tune
A thing called "Move"
