LOL funny where threads can lead. From discussing New Orleans Jazz at Carnegie to shopping for covert spy equipment.

Well, on the James Bond theme, Haley needs to be a Bond Girl, they need to use "Oh My" on the sound track.... It's a No brainer.

Well, we want to hear that New Orleans Jazz with Haley and Casey too, and how can we Mr. OOOM , if they won't let you record with your high tech camera equipment??

But....you know what they say "where there's a will, there's a way,"

sure just hide a video camera in your bowtie :-)

I guess the easiest way would be to start a writing/twitter campaign to get them to record the whole deal semi-legitimately and put a digital copy up for sale as a fundraiser.

I guess the might be complicated royalty issues with that?

That would be the perfect solution
and if proceeds go to help the charities Irvin Mayfield jr is involved with, royalties can be waived I would think......(who would want the press of taking from a charity?)

I still like the smiley button camera idea... It would look so natural on you.

Haley could kill any number of old jazz standards but her repertoire will be limited if she's only doing a duet.

An interesting set of questions, Miguel. Yes, Haley will slay whatever she does (Casey will too), but given this lengthy line up of performers, they may each get a solo and then a duet together. But only Mayfield, Haley, and Casey know (and, right now, they may be uncertain as well).

wikipedia:
Most of the greatest performers of classical music since the time Carnegie Hall was built have performed in the Main Hall, and its lobbies are adorned with signed portraits and memorabilia. The NBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Arturo Toscanini, frequently recorded in the Main Hall for RCA Victor. In the fall of 1950, the orchestra's weekly broadcast concerts were moved there until the orchestra disbanded in 1954. Several of the concerts were televised by NBC, preserved on kinescopes, and have been released on home video.

Many legendary jazz and popular music performers have also given memorable performances at Carnegie Hall including Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Judy Garland, Harry Belafonte, Nina Simone, Shirley Bassey, James Gang and Stevie Ray Vaughan, all of whom made celebrated live recordings of their concerts there.

On June 15, 1892 Sissieretta Jones became the first African-American to sing at the Music Hall (renamed Carnegie Hall the following year). On January 16, 1938, the Benny Goodman Orchestra gave a sold-out swing and jazz concert that also featured, among other guest performers, Count Basie and members of Duke Ellington's orchestra.

Rock and roll music first came to Carnegie Hall when Bill Haley and his Comets appeared in a variety benefit concert on May 6, 1955. Rock acts were not regularly booked at the Hall, however, until February 12, 1964, when The Beatles performed two shows during their historic first trip to the United States. Promoter Sid Bernstein convinced Carnegie officials that allowing a Beatles concert at the venue "would further international understanding" between the United States and Great Britain. Since then numerous rock, blues, jazz and country performers have appeared at the hall every season. Jethro Tull released an album "Carnegie Hall, N.Y." featuring a 1970 concert. Ike and Tina Turner performed a concert there April 1, 1971, which resulted in their album "What You Hear is What You Get". The Beach Boys played concerts there in 1971 and 1972, and two songs from the show appeared on their Endless Harmony Soundtrack. Chicago recorded their 4 LP box set "Chicago at Carnegie Hall" in 1971.

An old joke has become part of the folklore of the hall. One of the earliest print versions of the joke runs as follows:

Rumor is that a pedestrian on Fifty-seventh Street, Manhattan, stopped Jascha Heifetz and inquired, "Could you tell me how to get to Carnegie Hall?" "Yes," said Heifetz, "practice".
