My Singing, If You Want To Call

When I Was Studying... There Weren't Any Black Concert Pianists. My Choices Were Intuitive, And I Had The Technique To Do It. People Have Heard My Music And Heard The Classic In It, So I Have Become Known As A Black Classical Pianist.

Jazz Is A White Term To Define Black People. My Music Is Black Classical Music.

How Do You Explain What It Feels Like To Get On The Stage And Make Poetry That You Know Sinks Into The Hearts And Souls Of People Who Are Unable To Express It

Everything That Happened To Me As A Child Involved Music. It Was Part Of Everyday Life, As Automatic As Breathing.

This Is The World You Have Made Yourself, Now You Have To Live In It.
