The Chair of Berklee’s Bass Department, Rich Appleman, introduces Victor Bailey to an inquisitive crowd at the Bass Lines program. Bailey comes on stage and jokes, “These cats are so young, they probably have no idea who I am, Rich.” Bailey introduces himself, “I have done pretty much everything you can imagine; from playing clubs, stadiums, I played in front of 100,000 people with Madonna, I have recorded artists like LL Cool J or Mary J. Blige, written music for movies, and T.V. shows, I played bass as a studio musician on over 1,000 records.”
