THE COLLECTION I’d say I have 2,000 CDs. They’re sent to me by people who aspire to have me play them on the show. If there’s something extraordinary, they go on the air immediately. The thing that’s so important to this music is the younger musicians, and there are a lot of them. Tierney Sutton, John Pizzarelli, Jessica Molaskey, Diana Krall. These are singers that really mean something to me, and they are dealing with the American songbook.
