I wouldn't call myself a jazz player or a blues player.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wouldn't really say I'm a jazz guy, which I'm not.
Well, actually, I don't consider myself a jazz legend or anything.
Jazz is the big brother of the blues. If a guy's playing blues like we play, he's in high school. When he starts playing jazz it's like going on to college, to a school of higher learning.
After I exhausted the blues thing, I got into jazz.
In my view a jazz musician is a great musician.
When I began my career, I was constantly referred to as the kid who could play the blues.
I'm not a jazz singer.
I'm not a big jazz fan.
If I'm not a jazz player all the time, I've at least been cued in to what I do by jazz.
I was considered as a jazz man rather than as a blues player. There were no blues players-you played one sort of jazz of another sort of jazz.
