Cellist Behind Bars

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
You may know him as the murderous cellist on segments of HBO's series Oz, but for the multi-faceted Zuill Bailey that's just one creative outlet. Other endeavors include soloist and artistic director of El Paso Pro-Musica. He chats with John and performs live in the Soundcheck studio. Also, hear some classic New York City songs, brought to us by one of the clearest voices of the city, New York Times "Metropolitan Desk" columnist Clyde Haberman.
