I have a secret love of jazz.
Carly Rae Jepsen
I wasn't a trained Mickey Mouse club performer. I played in jazz clubs and restaurants.
Norah Jones
I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.
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.
I put out a recording of me singing mostly jazz because I wanted people to know I'm coming from a jazz background.
Rickie Lee Jones
I've learnt new scales through playing different types of music, like Indian raga scales, gipsy scales and harmonically-based jazz scales.
Nigel Kennedy
I also like Western classical music and jazz.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
I have tons of jazz records: John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis. I could go on and on.
Ted King
As long as there are people trying to play music in a sincere way, there will be some jazz.
Lee Konitz
