Description
Brooklyn native Lori Bell is a flutist and composer of admirable depth and broad musical sympathies. A resident of San Diego, she has contributed to the development of high standards of jazz performance and has received critical acclaim for her artistry, both live and in the studio.
Her recording debut on "Love Will Win" with pianist/vocalist Dave Mackay and bassist Andy Simpkins, earned warm praise and four and a half stars (out of five) from the esteemed critic Leonard Feather, as well as a selection on the Grammy list best New Artist in 1983. A second disc, "Take Me To Brazil," showed a natural fluency in the Lain idiom and her ability to maintain a high level of inspiration. This album featured the first of several fine compositions and was enthusiastically given four start by the Los Angeles Times in 1989.
Over the past 15 years, Ms. Bell's many performances in venues such as the Wadsworth Theater, Elario's and the Jazz Bakery established her reputation among musicians and audiences alike as a remarkably vital interpreter. Her outstanding contributions with the ensemble Straight Ahead, during the 1997 Mary Lou Williams Jazz Festival at the Kennedy Center, broadened that reputation and were noted in Jazziz magazine for their fire and commitment. She continues to deepen her understanding of the rich, varied language of jazz even as she develops her eloquent gifts of communication.
In 1998, this artistic maturity was delightfully demonstrated in her stellar work with Dave Mackay and guitarist/vocalist Ron Satterfield in the trio Interplay. Their self-titled first album was selected on the 1999 Grammy ballot in four categories, including Best Jazz Solo by Ms. Bell on Pat Metheny's, It's Just Talk". The disc, which most recently earned four stars from Scott Yanow in Strictly Jazz magazine, also features her composition "Playing In The Snow," a waltz that skillfully combines an uncommon musicality with a fresh, intrinsic charm.
It is this quality of high craftsmanship, inspired improvisations rendered within a wonderful harmonic and melodic framework, that is at once fulfilling to the musician's mind and music lover's heart. It is a quality which embodies the fundamental appeal of Ms. Bell's music and which conveys her special talents to a wider audience with her most recent endeavor, a contemporary instrumental album featuring many original
compositions and arrangements.
