Up front and personal

By Paul McGowan From PS Audio

Zuill Bailey

When it comes to music, one of the greatest pleasures is a chance to be upfront and personal with it. And, there’s no better way for that to happen than live.

Recently, Terri and I had the chance to get about as close and personal as possible with world-renowned cellist, Zuill Bailey. Zuill is nothing short of extraordinary and we were lucky enough to get front row seats—not at a hall, but at a person’s home here in Boulder. The cellist was so close that when he spoke between songs Terri and I had to duck from his gesticulating bow.

I, ever the nerd, whipped out my trusty phone and recorded one of his Bach pieces, raising his eyebrows at me (as you’ll see) and then giving me a gentle lecture after the piece about the value of being in the moment and off my phone.

Point taken, but at least I was able to capture this magical moment and can share it with you now. Click the picture or the link to enjoy a short 3.5-minute performance, upfront and personal as it gets.
