Cynda Williams Never Listened To Jazz, Just Gospel
Despite playing Clarke, the jazz singer with big dreams and a very complicated love life, Cynda Williams didn’t mess with jazz music until she did the film. As she told I Rock Jazz in 2013:
“I was very much a church girl; that’s where I would spend all of my time. You wouldn’t find me in any clubs of any sort. I started going out dancing once I moved to Los Angeles but I wasn’t one to go to clubs and sing or listen to jazz because I was singing gospel in church so I wasn’t really a part of that scene at all.”
