The answers given by Hank Mobley when asked by the Baroness what his three wishes would be were:
- “Money, money, money.”
- “Somewhere to play where people aren’t just comparing you to someone else. where they have a brochure on the table telling you all about the musician.”
- “Somewhere to play – not a cellar. A place with dressing rooms. And no rinky-dink piano a man can’t take a solo on. Or the kind of acoustics when a drummer hits a sound it keeps on ringing for half an hour afterwards.”
