Mit dem Besucher aus Schweden, Benny Bailey:
„It was the first time that I had the chance to play with Benny,“ said Jackie McLean. „He’d been one of my trumpet idols since those records he made with Teddy Edwards in the mid-forties. He was one of those people who wasn’t around that I dreamt of playing with. I was really on cloud nine.“
~ Will Thornbury (July, 1988), Liner Notes zu „The Complete Blue Note Recording of Freddie Redd“ (Mosaic Records)

"Don't play what the public want. You play what you want and let the public pick up on what you doin' -- even if it take them fifteen, twenty years."
