Well, Babbsie, that's what pros can do. Given that Haley grew up with it, she's not so surprising. But I don't think Keith did, so therein lies the surprise. However, Haley, obviously, has enormous confidence in his ability to truly back her up and he doesn't seem to disappoint. She did look and sound wonderful.
But did anyone else notice those lovely little "filler" riffs that Keith did on "Keep Comin' Back"? That kid -- oops -- young man is a real find! Courtney Leonard, thank you for connecting Haley and Keith.
That's a reason why I love Keith and Haley
especially on their performances of NTYH....It's that song that they both groove so well to
I wish someone had a recording of their performance of BATJ at that private party when Haley gave Keith a piano solo during that song:

Tusk, I know... You and I kind of "go off into some zone" about Keith. (And frankly, my friend -- whom I've never met -- I think you're much more into jazz than you know).
To this day, I still feel a bit of guilt about the hows and whys Neara was "swiped out of the picture" (because that's kind of how it feels), but, in general, Keith is so good and he is
soo good with Haley, that it's hard not to be -- well, I'm now completely in the "Keith" mode.
My dream jazz trio (and small jazz combos are where I live, when in "jazz mode") would be Haley, Keith, and Casey, with Casey, probably mostly on bass (with back up vocal parts, be they harmony or "echo or response"), but because Casey is, instrumentally so versatile, let's not limit him.
