I listen to jazz mainly. Mainstream jazz.

I've always loved jazz.

I still love the whole history of jazz. The old things sound better than ever.

I always liked jazz. And my people liked the old blues, race records and the doo-wop and all that.

I find early jazz to be the most revolutionary music of its time.

All of the most popular music of the '30s and '40s were deeply informed by jazz.

I was totally into jazz in my teens.

I'm really getting to appreciate traditional jazz now - the New Orleans stuff - a lot more than I did before.

The first time I listened to jazz was when I was 8.

Jazz was the pop music of its day, and all American popular music has stemmed from it one way or another.
