On today, January 18th, 1957
And our program comes to you from our glass bowl on 49th Street
And now here's a man that plays a mean, muted pair of shell glasses
Dave Garroway
Say, where's your horn this morning?
How come you didn't bring it down?
I can't get in with that group
No courage
They asked me what I wanted for my birthday
On this celebration week and that was it
An all-star jazz band of considerable eminence
And we have the top men from the field of jazz
Here at the piano is that paragon of lady piano players
Miss Marian McPartland
And playing odd instruments, you don't mind the- the-
It sure is, I feel a little out of place, Dave
Is Art Van Damme from Chicago
You flew in, didn't you, just for this?
Yes, I did
You're a good boy
Then there's Jo Jones playing drums again this morning
That's him
Just a shadow of his former self, Chubby Jackson
One of the great all-time men on tenor, Bud Freeman
Thank you
The winner of everybody's clarinet poll, Buddy DeFranco
And the original Little Jazz himself, Roy Eldridge
I understand, ha ha ha
And then playing expert trombone these days
The finest I know of is J.J. Johnson
I repeat, that's very sound
Men, are you all ready?
I'll play our first number, "South Wind"
I think I'll go, I'll beat off
