Split Kick - Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers

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

redords tehre, 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 dig down Birdland…

We’re bringing back to the badstand at this time, ladies and gentleman,

the great Art Blakey and his wonderful group featuring the new trumpet

sensation Clifford Brown,

Horace Silver on piano,

Lou Donaldson on alto,

Curly 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!

Thaaank yowww!"
