"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

It is impossible not to be seduced by Lori Bell playing the flute.
Such is the mesmerizing power of her playing that she can – and has – turned even The Blues into something magnetic.  She exhibits some of the freshest and most daring feats of imagination to such a degree of genius that as a compendium of flute technique she has no rivals she has no rivals at this time.  Jazz da Gama  2018
