Me as an artist, I've ventured off into doing all types of music. I'll do a jazz album, you know what I mean.

You know what I'd really like to do? I'd like to record some white Chicago jazz.

I don't want to sound as if I'm doing something tremendously special. But I am a jazz fan.

I haven't a great jazz band, and I don't want one.

You know I want to sing for people, I want to jazz people up I want to make new music that they've never heard.

I have tons of jazz records: John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis. I could go on and on.

I've always wanted to record a jazz record. I did one in the '70s with Barbara Carroll. It's been a journey.

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 don't know if I have enough guts to do a whole standard jazz record.
