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

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

Too often, the opportunity knocks, but by the time you push back the chain, push back the bolt, unhook the two locks and shut off the burglar alarm, it's too late.

I say what's in my heart, and I do it in my concerts.

I don't think I was considered to be a cabaret singer because I didn't have patter that was written.

You know, I'm pretty much an open book.

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