...from it all. Last May, Cindy called her high school alma mater in Hawaii to see whether there were any teaching openings for Michael, who at one point had taught an undergraduate film course at Boston College.

...went 10 years without contact.) She discovered singing while attending the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (Erykah Badu and trumpeter Roy Hargrove are also alums) and pursued jazz piano at the University of North Texas. After her sophomore year, she took a summer sublet in New York City, where she waited on tables in the mornings and spent her evenings singing jazz standards in Greenwich Village dives. "It was pretty much everything I wanted," Jones says. She never went back to Texas...
