Three Wishes
One night when Kenny “Klook” Clarke was with Baroness Pannonica the topic of three wishes came up and when she asked he responded with:
- “Brigitte Bardot.”
- “Brigitte Bardot.”
- “Brigitte Bardot.”
1a) “No, of course I’m not serious about that. It would be to have Dizzy, J.J., Ray Brown, and Hank Jones. That’s my dream quintet.”
2a) “God, Nica, I don’t know. My second wish is to have my son over here and start him in music.”
3a) “My third wish is to set up a school over here in Paris, and put all those young boys on the right track. Then, if I do that, I’ll be happy. I’m gonna wish for no money! I’d rather do something.”

Dwike MItchell was hanging out at the house of the Baroness when she questioned his three wishes and told her:
- “To be able to play for people every night, that is my very special wish. To be able to play consistently well for everyone, to be able to give the best of myself every day. Love me like I love you, darling! For every day is different. Today is dark and black. And if one could give one’s best to everyone, that would be the greatest wish of every musician.”
