You have to go out and learn jazz by playing.

I was exposed to jazz early on.

Jazz is not the format where I want to stay, but it really is a starting point for me.

Growing up, I was very much interested in jazz music.

Jazz is there and gone. It happens. You have to be present for it. That simple.

Sometimes you need to stand with your nose to the window and have a good look at jazz. And I've done that on many occasions.

I wanted to play some more grown-up music - jazz.

So I went into jazz and performed in jazz clubs all over the country.

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.
