So, now Kenny's dead y'all wanna rethink the band. You guys are idiots, man.

His reply to a jazz writer who, at the Requiem session just after Kirkland's death, said critics were starting to rethink the Wynton Marsalis band.

I mean we didn't practice. Wynton was the only guy that really practiced.

Listening back to the Wynton Marsalis quintet's Black Codes (From the Underground) and judging how unprepared the band had been.
