Guitar Nine Records Review

JazzReview.com

" 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. "
Joseph Taylor - Soundstage.com October 2002


"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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
