PRJC Educational Discussion:
Meet Buster Bailey - one of the great clarinetists of American Jazz
Presented by Seth Kibel
Wednesday, June 16, 2021, 7-8:15pm, ONLINE via Zoom
 |
Jazz history is filled with superlative instrumentalists who, to this very day, don't receive their just recognition. There are often a variety of reasons for this. Sometimes, it's just plain bad luck. Sometimes, it's because their individual fame is sublimated to that of the more famous bandleaders for whom they work. And sometimes, it's because of the color of their skin. In the case of clarinetist Buster Bailey (1902 - 1967), it's probably a combination of all three. Over the course of this presentation, Seth Kibel will attempt to convince attendees that Mr. Bailey was, indeed, one of the all-time great clarinetists of American jazz. Whether in his solo recordings, or in the bands of such luminaries as Fletcher Henderson, John Kirby, Louis Armstrong, and others, Buster Bailey consistently represented the absolute highest levels of musicianship. With vintage recordings and video clips, Seth will take music fans on a whirlwind tour of the life, career, and music of this unsung hero of jazz.
Seth Kibel is one of the Mid-Atlantic’s premier woodwind specialists, working with some of the best bands in klezmer,
jazz, swing, and more. Wowing audiences on clarinet, saxophone, and flute, Seth has made a name for himself in the
Washington/Baltimore region, and beyond. He is the featured performer with The Kleztet, Bay Jazz Project, Music
Pilgrim Trio, The Natty Beaux, and more. Winner of 28 Washington Area Music Awards (Wammies), including “Best World
Music Instrumentalist” (2003-11) and “Best Jazz Instrumentalist” (2005, 2007-8, 2011-14). His most recent recording,
"When You're Smiling," was released in 2018 on the Azalea City Recordings record label. His song "New Waltz" was the
Grand Prize winner of 2016 Mid-Atlantic Song Contest (MASC), sponsored by the Songwriters' Association of Washington
(SAW). When he's not performing, Seth frequently lectures on a variety of topics in music history for numerous
institutions, including the Osher Lifelong Learning programs at Johns Hopkins and Towson Universities. www.sethkibel.com.
