Three Wishes
Nica was inquisitive about the three wishes Albert Mangelsdorff would request, so she asked and he told her:
- “First, I vant to live long enough to get my playing, so I vould be satisfied.”
- “I vould say, that the life of a jazz musician vouldn’t interfere vith family life.”
- “I vish that people all over the vorld vould get smart enough that there vould be peace forever.”
“I should have made that the first vish.”
