Now I know, of course, the reason I chose to do those songs on the air back then was because that was who I was. Ten years after graduating from jazz studies at Idyllwild Arts Academy, I know that learning to interpret jazz standards — that songbook — is the way I learned everything about music, how music works, theoretically, mechanically, rhythmically, soulfully. Jazz is now a complete part of me, actually how I view and live my life.
For better or worse, in everything I do, I improvise, make intuitive choices, collaborate and share with others. So, it was finally time to go back to my authentic roots — show the world my organic colors and the base of my musical knowledge, singing and playing the bass. I understand you recorded this album in a church in Brooklyn. What was so appealing about this location?
How would you describe the acoustics? The acoustics in this place are magic. The decommissioned church itself gives the recording an ethereal vibe, with its beautiful stain glass stark surroundings. The sound was rich and reverb-y, and we had very gorgeous surroundings to look at and sink into while we played.
It affected the way we play and the peacefulness and happiness that has been laid down with the music on the album. What is it like to record with Chesky Records?
How do they work with you to most accurately capture the sonic qualities you had in mind? They had a certain vibe that they were going for.
I knew I wanted to play my jazz standards, but the Chesky brothers, Norman and David, set up the view that this was the music for people sitting down after a hard day, relaxing with their loved one, maybe drinking a nice bottle of wine. Working with the Cheskys is a very family feeling. And the reason we even did this album was because Norm Chesky wanted to capture more of my authentic jazz vibe background on record.
The passion and energy in these guys and the enormous care they put into the quality of the sound make me care more about what I can record on my own. How did you get this group together? Had you been working this material out with them for a while? Very surprisingly, I met the ensemble the day of. His interaction with the audience is very playful, innocent and friendly as he will just ask simple questions and make you feel warm and welcome as he even continues the conversation before going into another song in this case it was 'get out'.
Not many artists do this and when they do it just feels generic or forced but with Casey it feels as though you are catching up with a long lost friend.
