Sheryl Bailey Trio at Brvsh Cul7ur3 in Teaneck

Sheryl’s playing is unquestionably “sizzling”. She has groomed incredible chops and impeccable taste with which she applies them. It’s said (by Lee Metcalf, The Villager) that she can “go from zero to blazing in two beats”, but she is continually praised for never sacrificing melody and lyricism for technique. “She balances superior technical skills with a strong lyrical sense and swinging touch…” continues Metcalf, and Joe Taylor of Soundstage says “Bailey combines an astonishing command of the fingerboard with a seemingly endless flow of melodic invention.” Sheryl is a Professor at Berklee College of Music, and at the Collective in New York. In keeping with Sheryl’s philosophy of “giving back”, her 2011 quartet release, “For All Those Living” donates 20% of sales to the Ronald McDonald House of NYC. She has been an Artist in Residence at countless other programs, including NYU, Bates College, the Stanford Jazz Workshop, Towson University, the LA Music Academy and GIT. In 2009, Mel Bay published her book Moveable Shapes: Concepts for Re-Harmonizing II-V-I’s. She has also developed a complete curriculum in jazz improvisation for interactive cyber study via Truefire’s Guitar Sherpa program, The Bebop Dojo. In addition she has top selling courses available from Mike’s Masterclasses, Jazz Guitar Society, JamPlay, and Truefire. Walk in cover charges will be higher than purchasing ticket online in advance
