McMahon you got a minute yes sir Tyco I understand you boys are gonna pick a trumpet player today for the group that's right sir Randy well he's the best one mr. mcfadden I was very impressed by Bruce's playing well they're both really great sir well it's designed to you who but if you would have asked for my advice I think I'd let Bruce have the part you see rent is pretty well got it made in the jazz world in a manner of speaking a Bruce needs a break I think maybe you boys can give him that the break he needs just see what I mean Oh Bruce ought to get some experience in a group don't you feel that I guess so sir but I think you should give this a bit of thought tight now there are a great many sound facts in Bruce's favor for example Bruce is covered now if you were in the group it might do some good ensuring clearly how we stand in this area of integration you know that is everyone's responsibility to try to set a good example you follow me I see that sir good time I'm glad you do I know you boys will do what's best for all concerned well sir I've gotta get going back I'll talk to the boys about it [Applause] hey I got that Charlie Parker I was telling you about yesterday exit five I asked the guy about that pick up sticks and he had it but somebody took it away from him last week he's gonna get me another one next time though when you hear what Randy does with the trumpet line in exit five you know when it goes yeah we've decided on a trumpet player and we're gonna try Chris for a little while Bruce yeah what do you mean with Bruce we're asking Bruce why oh because he can really play a great horn what are you talking about you know he's not as good as Randy on besides he could use the experience that's got nothing to do with it Randy's still better than he is oh come on Robin Bruce is great look he needs the Robin McFadden suggested we take Bruce Bruce needs the experience more than Randy is that all no you think should we do a lot of good if we look kind of integrated what it's our responsibility to set a good example - you mean to tell me we should take on Bruce because he's a negro that's what McFadden says but you're going along with it with Randy we could be the best group in town well what else can I do well it's not a McFadden's business he can't do anything well Mike were rehearsing right now in the school so what well it's McFadden who's letting us I mean if he wants to it could be out in the cold besides I think there's something in what McFadden says we really should set a good example that's right we should by being the best group we possibly can musically color is nothing to do with it if we take Bruce on now because he's a Negro it's the same as kicking him out because he's a Negro it's racial discrimination either way Robin if we take a stand for your principal mr. McFadden could break this combo up I'm not saying he would but he could so where does that get us gets us a good combo maybe that's what we're supposed to be trying for look we want the best trumpet man we can get and as long as he is the best trumpet man I don't care if he's green Robin look Bruce needs the experience more than Randy does experience of playing with a good group well this is his chance to get it you say it's wrong to take him on just because he's a negro I say it's right to set a good example well you got to work for the good of all concerned [Music] [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music]
