"Bell flaunts prodigious chops on both C flute and alto flute
though her pen might be mightier than her sword. Her originals all reveal a wide harmonic palette, a sophisticated rhythmic sensibility and a refined sense of dynamics, along with an urge to swing." Bill Milkowski Downbeat March 2016
Brooklyn Dreaming - Best CD's of 2016 Downbeat
Bell's playing is lithe and energetic, her lines unspolling with ease. But she's also an
improvisational shapeshifter. On “Times Squared,” she transitions seamlessly between rapidly tongued staccato blasts and relaxed legato sighs. On “Streets Of New York,” she skips from hard-nosed modal lines to graceful swing motifs with a clean, collected assurance." Brian Zimmerman Downbeat 'Editors Pick' January 2016
