Pannonica inquired what his three wishes would be if they could be granted and Frank Wess responded by telling her the following:
-
- “I don’t know. I don’t know. You’d think I was crazy if I told you. Well, I’d like to have a crazy pad with horses and some crazy dogs! And to play good music with a lot of people all of my life. And I’ll leave the third wish to the fairy godmother, because she’s been so nice.”

Jaki Byard was given the opportunity by Nica to express his three wishes and his response was:
- “If I could be financially able to do anything I wanted to, I’d have two or three clubs. I wouldn’t want three wishes, I’d only need one. Gee, that’s the only wish I ever had! To have three or four clubs, in the same New York vicinity, and let the clubs run themselves. That’d take care of all the different types of music. Does that make sense? That’s my only wish and I think that’s good enough.
