Guitarist and educator Sheryl Bailey recently moved from New York to Boston to become the assistant chair of the guitar department at The Berklee College of Music. In this episode of Liner Notes Sheryl talks about the challenges of moving to a new city while overseeing the education of nine hundred guitarists in the time of the coronavirus. We spoke over zoom-heads up that the interview is replete with the street sounds of Washington Heights. This episode features music from For All Those Living (Puremusic Records), A Meetings of Minds (Cellar Records), and A New Promise (MCG Jazz).
