Thank you for sharing your talent at the DJF. My daughter shared who you were "the person to see and hear". Shared that you were very kind and of course very cool. I thank you for extending your kindness to young musicians.

Casey, I will never forget hearing you play with the Grammy High School Jazz Band at USC. Your sound touched me then as it has over the years of your recording with Robert Glasper, Stephon Harris and more. I am thankful that Stephon encouraged me to come up and speak with you at the 2019 Central Avenue Jazz Festival in Los Angeles. Thank you for being gracious to speak with me before your set and for all of the incredible music you have left us. Sending my deepest sympathies to all who are grieving your transition. Gods Speed to you.
Tony White, LA Saxophonist / Jazz Educator
