Mike Casey
The Complete In The Before: Live at the Side Door
“A lovely jazz performance that soothes the soul”
— NBA icon & jazz fan Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
"The Los Angeles saxophonist uses a jazz framework to explore expansive multi-genre, multicultural sonic pathways".
— Bandcamp
A poignant time capsule recorded live from a sold out show at one of North America’s top jazz clubs mere weeks before the March 2020 lockdowns began from acclaimed jazz artist Mike Casey and his longtime trio, weeks before the world changed, weeks after their debut at (The Original) Kennedy Center, and months before they were named as finalists in the world's largest ensemble based jazz competition, DC Jazz Festival's "DCJazzPrix".
For an interesting "before / after" picture of Mike Casey and this trio, compare / contrast to "The Complete Public Access: WPAA TV Session" which was recorded spring 2022 on the trio's first post pandemic tour: https://mikecasey.bandcamp.com/album/the-complete-public-access-wpaa-tv-session
