It's something that - jazz is one of the few things that you can go and listen to, I don't care where you're from, what you are, what background you come from - there's something there for you.

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

I don't limit my taste. There's some jazz that I like and there's some opera. I've been listening to what was essentially country music, but it crossed over to rock.

I've always loved jazz.

Some people say that if you do anything other than a straight-ahead groove, that it's not jazz. But that kind of labeling is wrong. Music is what it is; if it sounds good, it sounds good.

I like all kinds of music, though I tend to prefer jazz and classics.

I have a very varied taste in music. Everything from rap to classical to Latino to Rat Pack to jazz.

I love many kinds of music: world music, jazz, classical, pop.

If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.

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