In the late 1940s the Royal Roost, which had originally opened as a fried chicken restaurant, became a key location in the development of bebop when owner Ralph Watkins persuaded New York jazz DJ Sid Torin to present a show from the Roost, beginning 6 April 1948. ‘“Symphony Sid’s Bob Concert” was an immediate success, with an overflow crowd on the very first night,’ writes Paul Combs. ‘On the strength of this, bop performers were added on the weekends starting Friday, April 30’ (Combs, Dameronia, 84). Instrumental in the popularisation of the new jazz style, the Roost began billing itself as ‘The House That Bop Built’ or ‘The Metropolitan Bopera House’. Demand was so great that a weekly Sunday matinee session was added from September 1948. As a guide to the new progressive jazz, Sid and concert promoter Monte Kay asked arranger Gil Fuller – best known for his work with Gillespie – to write this pamphlet, which was offered free of charge: ‘if you’d like to get this wonderful little pamphlet, just drop a self-addressed envelope to your boy Symphony Sid’. The pamphlet opens ‘It is impossible in one session to give a complete and comprehensive picture of Be-Bop… I think I can give you a verbal picture on the subject which will enable you to talk to your musical friends… If you feel something when you hear Be-Bop, you feel something because something is there. No one has ever been quiet about Be-Bop, they either like it or dislike it, violently. They never sit still on the question and I’ll tell you why’.
