"Do I love you? Oh my do I! Honey, she's one of my favorite jazz singers. The thing I love about her is she's an incredible piano player also and she can really deliver a ballad like very few."Watch this moment
"I got the new Brittany Howard album because I love her and I really loved her last album. This is called What Now, and I'm just excited she always has an incredible band and she's a great songwriter."Watch this moment
"I got Talking Book by Stevie Wonder 'cause this is one of my favorite albums in high school. It's just a classic, classic Stevie; every song is my favorite on here. When I hear this album, it definitely brings me back to being 17 years old."Watch this moment
"I got this Les McCann album, Never a Dull Moment! Live from Coast to Coast 1966-1967. I love his piano playing; it's soulful and kind of funky, and it's not straight jazz, it's just pure feeling."Watch this moment
"I got 'Out of Time' because this was my favorite album when I was in seventh grade. That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight, losing my religion. I actually had it on cassette tape and my mom and I took a road trip when we moved from Texas to Alaska in seventh grade, and there were only three cassettes that she would listen to that I also would listen to, and this was one of them."Watch this moment
"I went ahead and got Jolene by Dolly Parton... I love Dolly so much and I feel like I know her music so well but there's actually so much of her music that I don't know still because she's put out so much music."Watch this moment
"I got the Tony Bennett Bill Evans album. Bill Evans was always my favorite piano player growing up. It's just so beautiful and I heard the story that Tony Bennett wanted to make an album with Bill Evans and Bill Evans didn't want to back up a singer, and Tony convinced him to do it. It's just piano and voice; it's a really beautiful album."Watch this moment
