about

"Ms. Bell plays with confidence and taste, with a proclivity toward the
more subtle means of emotional expression. Her playing inherently
has a many-layered depth that reveals a more meaningful art. She
renders ballads with exceptional sensitivity while bringing wonderful
nuances to swing and be-bop, which she plays with power, agility and a
natural élan. Her phrasing, evocative of birds, shows the strong
influence of Eric Dolphy, yet is rendered with such purity of tone and
range of timbre that it is clearly of a different ornithology."
- German Berrellez

"One cannot help but be very intrigued by Lori's
technical and improvisational ease. Her
command of the flute is outstanding and the way
she breezes over chord changes makes her
dexterity sound quite light and unassuming. She
is a remarkable flute player"
- Marco Pignataro --- Jazz Improv Magazine 2002

"The flute takes on warm characteristics in the
hands of Lori Bell. She makes the music happen
with her wide range of improvising skills and
melodious tonality"
- Frank Rubolino ---- CadenceMagazine -- 2002

Dear Lori, Your solo CD appears on the initial Grammy Ballot under Best New Artist, Best Instrumental Composition ("A Heart is But a Flower"), Best Instrumental Arrangement ("Equinox"), Best Jazz Instrumental Solo ("Cartagena"), and Best Contemporary Jazz Album. You certainly have our vote. Truly unbelievable that your CD is here at Beezwax.
- David A. Seyboldt | Beezwax Records
