In truth, I'm just on board with Haley doing jazz, because she does it really well -- and, the recording (between Mayfield and Haley) is truly just a personal hope.
I agree me too! She does Jazz very well and I have got to believe she enjoys singing with him.
Quote:Irvin has noticed that the YT video of her singing with him at his club (GBTC) has far more views than any of the other videos that feature him. I'm sure he would love to broaden his exposure of his music and sell a few more records/tickets as part of this. Haley helps him a bit in that way. But it's more than just good business. Part of his mission seems to be nurturing aspiring jazz talent and Haley fits right in with that.
a quote from John
Yes she does fit his mission statement, but I do believe he was really surprised when she showed up at his club and went toe to toe with him scatting at 21, you could tell by the reactions of some of the musicians playing too - that was fun to watch!!
