In this episode, Casey shares the winding path that brought her into jazz voice, bass, and a creative life that blends composing, performing, and heartfelt projects. Along the way, Casey talks about how coaching shaped her work supporting other artists, and why creating space for connection has become such a central part of what she does. Jason and Casey dig into what it looks like to move through "seasons" of creativity, from album release mode to collaboration mode, and how routines like strength training and time in nature can support the physical and mental demands of making music. They also talk about the joy of live performance, the inspiration of Nina DeCesare's recent Bach marathon, and Casey's new Women in Music series featuring performance-plus-conversation collaborations. Enjoy, and follow along with Casey and her great work on her website, YouTube, Instagram, and listen on Spotify or Apple Music.
