Found this because it is used in a modified version in the Late Night Tales mix by Niels Frahm, where it says: "The universe is a spiraling Big Band in a polka-dotted speak-easy, effusively generating new light.". Though the conversation is with a "K.C. Bird", not God. Presumably this means the jazz player Charlie Parker from Kansas City, which would make sense, since the original quote (found in Gaither's Dictionary of Scientific Quotations, page 2619) is apparently "The universe is a spiraling Big Band in a polka-dotted speak-easy, effectively generating new lights every one-night stand." by Ishmael Reed, who according to the Amazon description for his poetry collection (the 2006 ed.) "weaves politics and war with Nigerian poetry and jazz all in the service of his continual redefinition of American culture." - I bought the book instantly, by the way.
amazing album!

"My worthy constituent: the universe is a spiraling big band in a polka-dotted speakeasy, effusively generating new night on every one night stand."
