Three Wishes
Julian “Cannonball” Adderley told the Baroness that his three wishes were:
- “I wish that racial discrimination would be eliminated from the face of the earth, in all directions.”
- “I wish for some sort of subsidy for the jazz art, so that those truly dedicated artists may create music, let’s say unscathed or distorted because of social and economic necessity. Only under these circumstances may there exist jazz expression free from bitterness, jealousy, grief, and the put-down syndrome.”
- “I must honestly confess that I would wish for certain various and sundry circumstances indigenous to healthy and happy home life for my wife and myself.”
