"
Bailey is the kind of guitarist who should enjoy a wide audience. She has the rare combination of accessibility and seriousness that often spells both popular success and critical acclaim. She has the technical skills and the writing ability. All she needs now is a major-label push. No other guitarist her age is close to being the fully formed artist she is today.

"Bailey has the ability
to write infectious melodies that are also a solid basis for musical exploration. She combines astonishing command of the fingerboard with seemingly endless flow of melodic invention. Even her flashiest lines are unpredictable and fresh, and she's nearly as impressive as an accompanist. Her extensive knowledge of guitar chords and her strong rhythmic sense allow her to provide complex, beautiful support for Versace - listening to her comp is almost as big a kick as hearing her solo." Joseph Taylor - Soundstage.com October 2002 |
"Crisp, jumping
interplay, timeless sultry, funky groove. My initial reaction to the the cd's being over was I've got to hear this again!" David Hodge - Guitarnoise.com September 2002 "NYC guitarist, Sheryl Bailey continues to rock the Big Apple - Bailey proves she has her guitar skills down - (this is) Bailey's best studio jazz album yet." Robert Silverstein - 20th Century Guitar September 2002 |
"Ms.
Bailey should win over some new fans. The Jazz world has a lot to look
forward to from someone who possess such remarkable talent. Don't
pass up this one." Richton Guy Thomas - Jazznow.com July 2002 All Music Guide rating 4 and 1/2 stars! "Highly Recommended!" by author Rick Andersen |
