• En enero de 1969, tras una reunión para discutir la dirección del nuevo Programa Afroamericano de la UCLA, [Alprentice "Bunchy" Carter y John Huggins, Jr.] fueron asesinados en el campus por un grupo nacionalista negro rival, la Organización de Esclavos Unidos. Esto conmocionó a todos los estudiantes, blancos y negros, y nos hizo darnos cuenta de que lo que estábamos haciendo no era sólo un ejercicio académico, sino que tenía repercusiones en el mundo real.

• Yes, but the thing is my influences are so rooted in afro-American culture especially that it's quite sad to not enjoy the same success because the influences are so strong from there.

• La lección que esto enseña y que todo afroamericano debería meditar bien, es que un rifle Winchester debería tener un lugar de honor en cada hogar negro, y debería usarse para esa protección que la ley se niega a dar. Cuando el hombre blanco, que siempre es el agresor, sepa que corre el mismo riesgo de morder el polvo cada vez que lo hace su víctima afroamericana, tendrá más respeto por la vida afroamericana. Cuanto más cede, se encoge y suplica el afroamericano, cuanto más tiene que hacerlo, más se le insulta, se le ultraja y se le lincha.

• When I was a little kid wanting to play music, it was because of people like Pete Johnson, Huey Smith, Allen Toussaint, Professor Longhair, James Booker, Art Neville ... there was so many piano players I loved in New Orleans. Then there was guys from out of town that would come cut there a lot. There was so many great bebop piano players, so many great jazz piano players, so many great Latin piano players, so many great blues piano players. Some of those Afro-Cuban bands had some killer piano players. There was so many different things going on musically, and it was all of interest to me.
