I don’t pull out those series and things often, but I had a good time while I was there. 9. FM: In college you won Spring Sing, UCLA’s annual music competition. Twice. You sang in Awaken a Capella, a co-ed a Capella group. How did the music scene at UCLA prepare you for life in the industry? SBB: It was a good jumping off point. But I don’t know...

From the easy swing of first song "Sweet Lorraine" to the skittering ebullience of "Spain," the album's closer, Raw Jazz sparkles with the brio of live performance. Standout tracks include a jive-worthy version of "Honeysuckle Rose" and "That Old Black Magic," in which Candelaria's bass grounds Tan's larger-than-life channeling of the already larger-than-life Sammy Davis Jr. Exuberant...
