2000Quotations: "My primary motivation for writing is a desire to see full and accurate information on the recording activities of jazz and popular song performers. In my writing process, first I gather information and listen to recordings. Then I make a draft of the information in chronological order. Finally, I write the text. Most of it is written in my head before I commit anything to paper. I am inspired by my admiration for the quality of the performances of the musicians who are my subjects."
