Nica De Koenigswarter:
I was living in the Stanhope and, you know, like, all musicians used to come up there; but, after Bird died there, they threw me out... So, then, I went to the Bolivar and that's when I got my piano. Thelonious and I got together. That's where he wrote, "Brilliant Corners", "Ba-lue Bolivar Ba-lues." At night, we'd go out around the clubs. And then, all musicians would come back with us to the Bolivar and we'd have these fantastic jam sessions until 8 or 9 the next morning. So, of course, eventually, that caused trouble, and I was thrown out of there.

Nica De Koenigswarter:
And then we decided I should get a house of my own.
