1949 Concert Flyer

I mentioned this in the 78 thread, but I wanted to post a picture here. I bought some 78 RPM albums last week, and inside an Illinois Jacquet album was a program from a 1948 tour featuring Jacquet and Sarah Vaughan, and this concert flyer. It's nothing fancy, just a simple 6" x 9" sheet, but I think it's kind of amazing for what it represents. There's no year on the flyer, but a little research shows that it's from a 1949 Boston show.

I still wonder what the narration thing was all about. Is that fancy-talk for "emceed by" or was there some sort of other thing going on?

I imagine that there was some sort of pre-concert lecture/explanation about "modern jazz" - hopefully a short one. And was Mary Lou doing her "History of Jazz" medley at that point? I can see some narration on top of that.
