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

I've got my whole life. There's a lifetime of experience, a lifetime of experiencing the road and the music and different players. It makes me a richer human being. I have a greater source of information to tap into, a wealth of life.

There was a subtlety about Peggy Lee. It was powerful. There was a valuable use of space. Everything was not cluttered. Her voice was out front and was the key instrument.

If I'm driving to L.A. and have anxiety about making the drive, if I've got Peggy with me, we're cool.

I wanted to make a jazz record. I didn't want it to be a standards record.

I choose things by how they resonate in my heart.

Possibly, I should have been a jazz singer from the beginning.
