RE: Haley and NOJO in LA on 4/10/14
This is fantastic. The fact that IM wants to feature Haley at his shows whenever possible displays his admiration for her musical talent. Haley is such a great singer because she's a musician. Her voice is her instrument. Same as Ella and the other jazz greats.There are a lot of good singers around. They may have power, big range, good tone and all that. But, they don't sing like a musician. There is a difference to me.
Casey is like that too in a way, He doesn't have the great tone like Haley and doesn't have the same control or fluidity. But, he still uses his voice like an instrument. The best thing about his singing for me is his rhythm and phrasing and incredible ear.
