I Don't Think I Was Considered To

I've Always Wanted To Record A Jazz Record. I Did One In The '70s With Barbara Carroll. It's Been A Journey.

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.

I Was Kind Of Known As A Ballad Singer. People Would Send Ballads. Some Of Them Would Go Over My Shoulder And Float Off The Top Of My Head, And I Just Didn't Feel Anything. Then I Would Hear A Song That Would Absolutely Shake Me.

It Seems That Jazz Is More Cerebral And More Mathematical In A Sense.

My Grandmother Passed At 104. She Sang And Wrote Songs Until She Passed.
