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

And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school.

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

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.

I started touring a little bit in 1973 in support of a record I made for an independent label. In 1975, when I signed with Warner Bros., where I remained happily ensconced for the next 24 years, my touring activity increased considerably.

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

My brother had a big band in high school; after that we continued to play together, eventually forming a group called the Jazz Brothers, that recorded for Riverside Records.

I started in a band called 'Timbiriche', we toured the world when I was 8; I have 23 albums.

I played drums on Keith Carradine's first record.
