Dustin Hoffman eager to become jazz player

New York, Mar 8 (ANI): American actor Dustin Hoffman has revealed that his one dream before life quits on him is to become a good jazz player.

Hoffman, 71, has been quietly but feverishly studying jazz piano, and he is very serious about it.

"I promised myself that before I kick the bucket, I'd become a decent jazz player," the New York Post quoted him as telling the new issue of Flaunt.

"The guy I'm practicing with says he'll have me playing in a year.

"And if God tapped me on the shoulder and offered me an ultimatum - acting or jazz piano - I'd make the decision in a New York minute," he added. (ANI)
