It was on a real nice spring day and these heavy weight "aficionados" were having a discussion about jazz, and I wanted to get in on it. One of them was a famous St. Louis disc jockey by the name of Leo Chears. I was in my late teens at that time, and wanted to impress them with my knowledge of jazz.
I began by talking about "Paul Quinichette" ; I went on and on, pronouncing his name each time like it's spelled. While I was talking, I noticed Leo had a smirk on his face.
"You mean Paul Quinishay, don't you", and from that time on I never forget the correct pronunciation.
