I choose things by how they resonate in my heart.

I think you have to have a jazz pedigree to be on jazz radio.

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 think the challenges for me was to go into the studio with these incredible jazz players and come up to their level of excellence. That's always a challenge.

It seems that jazz is more cerebral and more mathematical in a sense.
