Quote

I'm not a jazz singer.

I've been around jazz and jazz musicians most of my life.

I have a fondness for jazz, particularly for jazz singers, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald all the way through the Sinatra era.

My dad is a big jazz fan, and that was the reason I first got into jazz.

Jazz music creates so many phenomenal figures.

I'm thrilled when I hear the greatest jazz musicians. They continue to search in ways other musicians do not.

I've always loved jazz.

I was brought up in a house with a lot of appreciation for music, all kinds of music, including jazz. But I never knew that it could really be a career. I didn't know any jazz singers. I never saw live jazz. I only heard these records.
