【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: How did you get started in jazz singing? W: It was a zigzag route. I went from country music to singing madrigals, to singing folk, to opera, and then to jazz. People kept offering me different projects, saying 'Well, I know that you have never done this before, so maybe you might not want to?' and I would say, 'Oh, sure. I'll try it.' So I went from form to form, to form and that is how. M: Are you going to keep moving around or are you stuck on jazz singing now? W: I think jazz is where I'm going to stay. I feel the most comfortable here, I have the most freedom here. M: When were the sessions for this album originally done? W: The session was done in Sept. of 1998 we mixed it down the second week of October, and nothing was done with it. I was busy for five and half years in a life of death battle with a portion of the government 'a legal battle' that I had. So I had to drop everything to deal with it. M: Does anyone in your family have a musical background? W: I was brought up in a family that had an awful lot of musicians, and none of them took anything I was doing very seriously at all. I was actually the family joke. I just did this music to get it out of my system. I did not expect anyone to pay much attention to it. I just knew that I had to say it. M: Thanks for talking with us, best wishes for your career. W: Thank you!
