Quote from an interview done by Brad Buchholz of the American Austin Statesman January 28, 2001. "In 1959 -
when Banks was just a kid, playing his very first show in New York City at the
Apollo Theater with the Ray Charles band. Gillespie, the godfather of bebop,
walks in. Sits in the first row with trumpet master Lee Morgan. "Goodness, I was
scared", recalls Banks, smiling at his own expense. "When I walked out to play
that first solo, my hands were shaking."
