I recorded my first jazz record in the '70s.

I was a jazz major in high school, in an all-jazz band. No matter what I do, it features my musical influences.

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

Possibly, I should have been a jazz singer from the beginning.

All the folks I play with come from jazz backgrounds or at least appreciate spontaneity within the parameters of a pop song.

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

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

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