Andre Previn tells this story :





"Some time back I was conducting a big Bartok work and Shelly Manne, who
was in the audience, came back stage after the performance. He was not
familiar with the piece but loved it.

I introduced him to the orchestra manager who said to him 'I didn't think
that people like you liked this kind of music.'

To which Shelly responded 'That's not true, big bands are coming back.'"
