“Whether I’m going to record a standard or one of my own compositions, it has to be from my perspective. Even if I’m going to record something that has been recorded by hundreds of artists, I need to add something different and shed some kind of new light on it. It doesn’t need to be something eccentric or radical, but it does need to reflect my own viewpoint. That’s my way of giving to people – it’s the best way I know how.”
