Haley and Casey - CityWalkLA - August 10th

[theurbansage]

Hi. You don't know me,

Welcome to HF, Juanita, glad to have been together @ another great Haley show (the other was @ Haley's album debut @ the Hard Rock in LA as my 'girlfriend' ) I look forward to your insight.

Secondly re: Keith.

Echoes of Keith's performance at the LA private party still ring in my mind, it was sublime. I still ache that there is not a recording of it. His performance on the Baby Grand, on "Undone" especially, was a beautiful complement to Haley's vocalizations, transitioning with an ease that comes when two artists 'know' each other as well as they seem to.

Outside of Harry and fam, and Casey, Haley is very at ease performing with Keith. We've seen it time and again how they play off each other, Haley, 'throwing it' to Keith as easily as she does to Casey.

I hope that their musical relationship is a long, fruitful and a satisfying one. I am fully confident of Keith as an artist and his dedication to his craft no matter the genre he choses.

I am so excited to hear this particular pairing in a few days in Vegas....

Thanks for the welcome, Tusk.

I know this week is going to be particularly busy for Keith with the mixtape release and the Vegas shows among other things, but I'm really excited for him. I hope he's able to come to LA before I finish school in September, but that might be a stretch.

As far as Haley goes, the chemistry they have is pretty potent and I've only seen them play together once in person. Their ability to improvise keeps them on the same page though and they have a similar feel for what they're doing up there. Plus them being the same age helps a lot with the comfort level.

This concert has me absolutely dying for a joint project between Haley and Casey. I don't care how or when it happens as long as I get to hear it before I die. The way they play off of each other is great (obviously). And do my ears deceive me or did their harmonies get better?

And someone mentioned Haley's apparent confusion during the Flintstone's theme. She really didn't know what was going to happen. No idea whatsoever. He said they were going to do some Jazz and she was thrown completely into the abyss.

Love the new song

Welcome to Haleyfans, theurbansage (love that name, btw!)! What are you studying?

Couldn't agree with you more about the Haley/Keith musical connection. Although different than what she has with Casey, there are parallels. I've said before and I'll say it again: I'd love to hear a Haley/Casey/Keith set of jazz. I think it would be pretty amazing!

I also agree with the Caley joint project idea and welcome any ideas that we can do to promote such a collaboration. And no, I do not believe your ears deceived you in regards to their harmonies.

I believe it was me who broached the "Flintstones" performance at CityWalk. I didn't mean to imply that Haley was confused at all. In the slightly over 2 years that I've been watching Haley perform (not in person , mind you), she always seems to be in charge when on stage. This was the first time I haven't seen that. If anyone was confused, it was probably me. It's understandable that she needed to listen to it a bit, to grasp what was going on. That rapid walking bass line that Casey is laying down ensures that it's not the Flintstones theme we all grew up hearing. She did fine, when she got the chance to do a scat solo. (In the beginning, I think she thought she and Casey would "trade fours" or twos -- or nines [ not really!], but he wasn't yielding for that to happen, so she then took some time to listen and clue in to what was going on. But she's a quick study!)

I believe Casey was willing to yield but could tell she wasn't ready. Later in the performance there was a brief moment when they were grooving and he was ready for her to take it but she wasn't quite sure how to play off of him and he bought her a couple more seconds before handing it off to her with an elongated tone.

My favorite part of the performance is when Haley is joyously looking upward as she scats.

Wow...I'd just like to say I haven't caught up yet, only as far as page 27. This Halien Global Network (HGN) has really come into its own.

Everyone has good stuff, nice comments, well-behaved crowd...it was a good night to be a Haley/Casey fan. Thanks to everyone for sharing.

Welcome to HF, urbansage! Remember me from Twitter? I don't go on there much these days, but it is great seeing you here on this site. We have a pretty good time here.
