Citações

One of the joys of a jazz singer is to try to keep a dimension of constant improvisation in relation to what he sings. But--and it's a big but--only if you never lose sight of the original musical value which the composer put in it. And above all, if you don't sacrifice the most important element of a popular song: the words.

I have to confess that my way of singing is very much affected by my private life, or by anything that touches me personally. I am a man, not a machine.
