The reaction to this album has just been fabulous around the world... and I've had offers to perform from around the world and I'm tempted to do it. I've got itchy lips.
I like to listen to classical music... I like mainline jazz.
I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.
You can have a great lyric and a so-so melody; it's going to be a tough sell.
The trumpet was not a lyrical singing instrument.
I find that it's nice to work with somebody and spin off on someone else's feelings. You get a little jaded by yourself.
