Quote

I wouldn't really say I'm a jazz guy, which I'm not.

I'm not a big jazz fan.

I'm not a jazz singer.

If I'm not a jazz player all the time, I've at least been cued in to what I do by jazz.

I wouldn't call myself a jazz player or a blues player.

What I love about jazz is that it's full of legends, full of myths. It's an oral history because it started in New Orleans and Kansas City, under the radar.

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

I would not describe myself as an avid jazz fan and I am not a jazz musician myself. However, that is not to say that jazz does not play a vital and important role in my life.

I cut myself off from the mainstream of jazz. It stood me in good stead later on, as a musician.

Tony Bennett is an iconic jazz legend.
