Moved to tears, Cécile on stage at the Staple Center declared "Thank you, it's crazy! I have to begin by thanking all those who helped me, my musicians, my manager, my label for believing in our music. I have to thank my sister and my father who always encouraged me [...] And most of all, I must thank my mother who has always been by my side [...] who encouraged me to go to jazz. Thank you, Mom, this Grammy is for you."
