00:29.029 --> 00:30.497
YOU'RE DOING AT THE MUSIC

00:30.497 --> 00:31.899
INSTITUTE, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

00:31.899 --> 00:33.166
YOUR BACKGROUND BECAUSE YOU

00:33.166 --> 00:35.035
STARTED OUT AS A CLASSICAL

00:35.035 --> 00:36.670
SINGER BUT THEN YOU HAD THIS

00:36.670 --> 00:37.871
EXPERIENCE IN COLLEGE THAT

00:37.871 --> 00:39.540
CAUSED YOU TO CHANGE

00:39.540 --> 00:39.940
DIRECTIONS.

00:39.940 --> 00:41.675
WHAT WAS THAT EXPERIENCE?

00:41.675 --> 00:42.876
>>THAT EXPERIENCE WAS WALKING

00:42.876 --> 00:44.878
DOWN THE HALLWAY, AND IN THE

00:44.878 --> 00:46.647
DISTANCE, IN A PRACTICE ROOM A

00:46.647 --> 00:47.347
YOUNG MAN WAS PLAY

00:48.448 --> 00:50.350
SAID WOW, WHAT AN INTERESTING

00:50.350 --> 00:51.084
PIECE.

00:51.084 --> 00:53.253
I ASKED HIM -- THAT'S SO

00:53.253 --> 00:53.787
INTERESTING.

00:53.787 --> 00:56.924
>>AND HE SAID NO, THIS IS

00:56.924 --> 00:58.125
FELONIOUS MONK.

00:58.125 --> 00:59.459
AND I SAID

00:59.459 --> 01:00.360
WHOSE

01:00.360 --> 01:01.895
FELONIOUS

01:01.895 --> 01:02.296
MONK?

01:02.296 --> 01:04.565
HE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I HAD THREE

01:04.565 --> 01:04.898
HEADS.

01:04.898 --> 01:06.400
IT TURNED OUT TO BE

01:06.400 --> 01:09.136
"AROUND

01:09.136 --> 01:09.937
MIDNIGHT."

01:09.937 --> 01:11.205
IT TURNED AROUND MY L

01:11.205 --> 01:12.039
