I Wanted To Make A Jazz Record.

If I'm Driving To L.a. And Have Anxiety About Making The Drive, If I've Got Peggy With Me, We're Cool.

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'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.

I Don't Think I Was Considered To Be A Cabaret Singer Because I Didn't Have Patter That Was Written.

I Think The Challenges For Me Was To Go Into The Studio With These Incredible Jazz Players And Come Up To Their Level Of Excellence. That's Always A Challenge.
