Zuill Bailey is a soloist, chamber musician, recording artist, professor, artistic director, and sometime actor (as seen on the HBO series Oz and NBC's Homicide). He talks with us about taking up the cello as a child; a transcendent and life-changing moment on stage; making a living as a musician; finding an instrument and artistic voice; and what he's learned from the recording process.
I drove 240 miles to Indianapolis years ago to hear him. It was awesome experience.
Zuill is so awesome! I love the way he plays, but also the way he talks about music is so great.
He came to El Paso Texas and he preformed a little " concert " @ hanks high school and he played Bach suite , I think , but he was just amazing ! ❤️
Brilliant man!
*A Taurus (what Zuill Bailey is) loves to TOUCH and feel things, and usually have a good memory. He mentions the touch and everything else he can to use while absorbing and REMEMBERING.* Nice interview. Lots to learn here. *Thanks.*
Thanks for watching and commenting, New Sigmund Freud!
I have only listened to his Haydn concerto album, and I love how playing. But I never knew he is such a great storyteller, as well!
Thanks for watching, ScubaSchaef!
I just saw him perform with the Sitka International Cello Seminar students that he is the creative director of. Oh, it was lovely, absolutely wonderful! And I actually didn't know who he was until I saw that concert and now I'm hooked!
“Music is about feelings and life.” What a wonderful interview and inspiring message!
Thanks for watching, Denise!
I got chills and tears multiple times in this incredible interview. It feels like synchronicity.
I so agree what an inspiration! Also hi Fran :-) I know we both know how hard it is when you have to record 😓
Thanks for watching, Fran Wycoff!
i love this man, he is from head to toe an inspiration.
One of the most fascinating musicians I have ever watched. It’s such a sky high difference between him, being so natural, and someone like Hauser (or Garrett) who lives only for the show. He brings on only sincerity and truly dedication to music and, like Sergiu Celibidache used to say, recordings, no matter how sophisticated technology will become, cannot encompass the full range of human emotions exerted on stage, in a live concert. Thank you Zsolt, again and again, from the bottom of my heart, for these glorious insights in the backstage life of true musicians. Please, we need more!
Thanks very much for watching and commenting, Marian Matei!
love listening to Zuill - such a very strong sense of self and musical grounding
Simply the best talented cellist !
I just watched a concert of this guy yesterday.... thanks for sharing.
He is so kind .
Captivating interview! Thank you.
QUOTE Zuill Bailey about Emily's sixth album 'Diversity' recorded at age 11)
Zuill Bailey classical cellist, Artistic Director of El Paso Pro Musica (Texas), Artistic Director of the Sitka Music Festival (Alaska) and Professor of Cello at University of Texas at El Paso:
Emily Bear is obviously classically trained. But she’s not just an interpreter and performer. She writes her own music. Everything that you hear on that album came from her. She wrote everyone’s part. She directed us. One forgets within minutes that you’re listening to someone who is a child. : She is an absolutely exceptional… It’s literally... It makes one believe the myths and the grandeur of what Mozart would have been like had you met him. This person is so purely gifted that music simply pours out of her. It pours out with such joy and creativity and spontaneity that you just stand back in awe.
It’s rather mind-boggling. This ability comes around so rarely. I believe the word prodigy is so so so overused for business tactics and salability.

------------------------Zuill Bailey,
wonderful!
He is fascinatingly possessed by music.
The problem is that kind of advice doesn't apply to 99% of the professional musicians who are not as talented or lucky as he is. There are many ways to music that don't necessary reflect the path of that 1% . Generally speaking, "find what you love and then you won't have to work a single day in your life" is the biggest cliche and worst advice you can give someone.
If that Stradivarius Cello that Zuill mentions in this clip, having been passed over for the Gofriller, is still available and lying around the workshop in search of someone to pay it I would be happy to take it off of the Luthier's hands!
