“I’m not a jazz singer.”

I feel fortunate that I was able to step away from it when I wasn’t interested.

As a guitar player, you can gravitate to the blues because you can play it easily. It’s not a style that’s difficult to pick up. It’s purely emotive and dead easy to get a start with.

I grew up around jazz. I love jazz.

I never liked jazz or anything else. Early rock n’ roll – that was music to me. Everything else was boring.
