A composer and player ranked among the foremost bop-based guitarists to emerge in the 1990s, Bailey will bring organist Ron Oswanski and drummer Ian Froman to Bates for a night of hard-swinging contemporary jazz.
Bailey has toured extensively in the U.S. and around the world as a member of David Krakauer’s Klezmer Madness and the “Jazz Guitars Meet Hendrix” quartet. Her 2011 CD “For All Those Living” is the most recent of her eight CDs as bandleader, and her catalog also includes the concert DVD “The Sheryl Bailey 3: Live in NYC.”
Bailey was chosen as a Jazz Ambassador for the U.S. State Department in 2000 for a South American tour, and earned third place in the Thelonius Monk International Jazz Guitar competition in 1995. Hailing from Pittsburgh, Bailey studied at Berklee College of Music, where she now teaches.
Tickets for Bailey are $12, but free tickets are available to the first 100 seniors and students who make a reservation at olinarts@bates.edu.
The Olin Arts Center is at 75 Russell St. For more information, call 207-786-6163 or email olinarts@bates.edu.
