Jazz radio is not very friendly to pop singers who decide to make a jazz record. But a lot of people have been. A lot of the people I've talked to like the record.

I'm a jazz musician, and I really wanted to not miss an opportunity to have the full connection to jazz.

You have to go out and learn jazz by playing.

Jazz needs the help. It's the more sophisticated music. All the other music is on the TV, but jazz isn't.

Jazz is not the kind of music you are going to learn to play in three or four years or that you can just get because you have some talent for music.

Jazz is a way of life, and you have to learn about it on the street, so to speak. But the training comes in by giving you the tools to work with.

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

Jazz is a hard music, and you have to really work hard and also have fun performing; that's the most important thing.

I want to be the jazz singer.

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