I Never Studied Jazz Technically;

Stevie Wonder Doing 'we Can Work It Out' By The Beatles Is One Of My Favorite Records Of All Time.

So When I Was Working With Amy Winehouse On "back To Black," You Know, She Had All These Beautiful Songs, Incredibly Well-written And Just Her On An Acoustic, Nylon-string Guitar. And She'd Play Them For Me, And Then I Would Kind Of Drum Up My Idea Of What I Thought - Make A Demo With What I Thought The Drums Should Be Doing, The Guitars - Like, Quite A Crude Demo.

I Don't Have A Crazy Rider Clause Saying I Have To Stay At Fancy Hotels. I Don't Have A Problem With Staying At A Marriott. But I Will Admit That I've Gotten Just Basic, Regular Service There.

I Remember That The Bass Was Turned Up Slightly More On The Mix From Last Week, And I Thought That Was Good - Or Whatever. Like, There Were Some Little Things In There That He Said That He Came To, Like, Really Enjoy My Opinion Or At Least, Like, My Little Comments On The Songs. So I Was Kind Of Destined To Probably Be A Studio Rat.

You Know, That Was The First Time [with Any Winehouse] That I Probably Ever Used A Baritone Sax. And It's Certainly The Texture That, You Know - It's All Over The Record 'cause It's A Nice Compliment To Her Tone.
