My background is in improv and writing.

Paul Scheer

As far as favorite 'overall package' record of all time, I'd have to say 'My Girl' by The Temptations. I like everything about it, not only the composition - but the arrangement, the production, the lead vocals, the background vocals, the horns, the strings. That one I listen to over and over again.

Paul Shaffer

I put out a recording of me singing mostly jazz because I wanted people to know I'm coming from a jazz background.

Robert Winston

Engineers love to optimize problems. Now I optimize logistical problems. I ask: 'What's the goal? What are our constraints?

That analytical background really helps.
