It's pretty rare in jazz to have a full-on steady band.

I've always loved jazz.

Jazz has always been a melting pot of influences and I plan to incorporate them all.

I'm a jazz musician, and I really wanted to not miss an opportunity to have the full connection to jazz.

I think that the jazzy approach that I have is based on the way that I hear music and in the way I play a supporting role to the other people in the band.

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

Jazz music by its very nature is just a conglomerate of a lot of different kinds of music.

Jazz has been such a force in music, that any musician, including classical composers, have been influenced, and obviously performers, also.

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

I've been a massive obsessive about jazz singers all my life.
