SUGGESTED HOST INTRO

Cellist Zuill (ZOOL) Bailey’s new CD contains the six Suites for Solo Cello by Bach.  He recorded them over an eight-day period.  That's two CDs, six suites, 36 movements and two hours and twenty minutes of music.  He ended this marathon recording session with the 6th Suite, which he says is "the most virtuosic' and probably the most difficult of the six.


Zuill Bailey Clip:

"I was at my most fatigued, which you would think you'd want to start with that because you need the most strength but I didn't want to make it about virtuosity, I wanted to make it about music.  So I felt that if I was exhausted that I would be more prone to hearing and playing it as music than trying to prove something as a virtuoso vehicle.  I just sat down and played.  I just played."
