Three Wishes

When Ernie Wilkins was approached by Nica and asked what his three wishes would be, he told her:

1. 1. “The first would be the ideal jazz club where I could use all the jazz groups I like, and where we’d never go out of business.”

   2. “The second would be a recording company the same way, where I’d could use all the musicians I like, and which would never go out of business.”

   3. “A million dollars. If I had all these I wouldn’t need to wish for anything for my wife and family, because they’d be covered and it would be Utopia.”
