I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.
I wasn't a trained Mickey Mouse club performer. I played in jazz clubs and restaurants.
I used to be a jazz snob, believe it or not. I sort of turned my nose up at anything more commercial.
I would love to make a real jazz album someday because I never have. But that's something I'm not in a rush to do.
