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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
