Dearest Friends & Fans,

I have some pretty exciting news to share with you.

As some of you already know, I've been in Los Angeles quite a bit the last several months working on a brand new CD. I have just signed with an extraordinary label, Resonance Records, for a multi-CD deal. Although the label is relatively new, I'm so impressed with the level of commitment, depth of understanding and generosity of it's owner, George Klabin, that I'm certain Resonance will soon be among the finest recording stables for jazz musicians anywhere. George has created an amazing opportunity for artists like myself and I am fortunate to be performing on a CD, to be released in the fall, entitled "Music of Djavan" featuring such superb artists as pianist Tamir Hendelman with the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra in L.A., bassist David Enos, and drummer Enzo Todesco.

George Klabin and his team are going to promote this CD in Japan, Europe, South America, and of course the US. After many years, I am with an organization that combines all the best of the previous ones- the finest recording environment, technical expertise and production values from start to finished CD...with wonderful moral and artistic support and abundant resources. Such a blessing!

Look for articles in the major jazz magazines about Resonance Records. There is a big one coming out in Downbeat promoting a new release with pianist John Beasley and Christian McBride tribute to Herbie Hancock called "Letter to Herbie ".

Last month, piano legend Mike Garson released his first CD on Resonance called "Conversations With My Family". I am honored to be featured on one track on this new CD and also, a track on the bonus DVD which is a live concert we gave in L.A. at George Klabins studio with drummer Peter Erskin, and bassist Dave Carpenter.

Other artists and new CD's coming out on Resonance Records are - L.A. pianist Bill Cunliff,

N.Y. trumpeter Claudio Roditi, L.A. pianist Roger Kellaway, Brazilian guitar legend Toninho Horta....

just to name a few.

The company is looking to book their artists for jazz festivals all over the world - currently they are working on booking me at the Munich Jazz Festival in 09.

One more thing about the label. George Klabin recently bought a 6,000 ft. venue in Los Angeles for concerts and CD releases. It is currently being renovated.....I'm sure this will be among the most sought after locations in L.A. for musicians to perform when the renovation is complete.

In the meantime, as most of you know, I put out a CD in 2002 titled "Lori Bell" on a small label called Beezwax Records. Next month I have a brand new CD, (my last with the label now that I'm with Resonance), called "Higher Standards". This CD features guitarist Ron Satterfield and percussionist Kevin Koch. More on this when it comes out.

Several of you have inquired why I'm not playing with Ron Satterfield anymore. Ron moved to Arizona for a while to do production work, something he is very good at and hopefully will lead to more production opportunities for him.

Finally, as you know, I'm playing at the most wonderful venue called The Grand Del Mar every Friday. If you haven't checked it out yet you really must come out one night. I'm there with guitar genius Joey Carano and bassist extraordinaire Rob Thorsen.

I'm always thankful for your support.

I hope to see you soon.

Best Wishes,

Lori

SIX TIME GRAMMY NOMINATED FLAUTIST LORI BELL

WILL PERFORM WITH THE CABRILLO CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

FOR THE ORCHESTRA’S SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 PERFORMANCE OF

"BAROQUE TO BEBOP"

SAN DIEGO, CA – July 3, 2006 The Cabrillo Chamber Orchestra today announced that Lori Bell, six time Grammy Award nominee will be featured at their September 30, 2006 concert season kickoff titled Baroque to Bebop.

Ms. Bell will perform Concerto in G by Gluck, Night Soliloquy by Kent Kennan, and a work by Stravinsky. Bell will also be performing a jazz set with her trio INTERPLAY featuring long time musical partners pianist Dave Mackay and guitarist/vocalist Ron Satterfield.

Mackay who had collaborated with Lori in the making of her debut album "Love Will Win" in1983. That effort resulted in her being nominated to the Grammy list for Best New Artist as well as a "four and a half stars" rating from Jazz critic Leonard Feather of the Los Angeles Times. Lori went on to create a second album, "Take Me To Brazil" which included a number of original compositions. Again, her work was enthusiastically received and the Los Angeles Times rewarded Lori with another superb "four star" review.

Joining Lori in 1998, pianist Dave Mackay and guitarist Ron Satterfield toured and recorded as the trio INTERPLAY. Their first album titled "INTERPLAY" was selected on the Grammy ballot in four categories, including Best Jazz Solo by Ms. Bell. Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Don Heckman wrote that "Bell’s playing was gorgeous, filled with light and air on the ballads, briskly inventive on her bob-tinged improvisations".

In 2002, Lori released another album titled "Lori Bell". This work was enthusiastically received by the Grammy Awards and was nominated in five categories including Best Instrumental Arrangement, Best Composition and Best Instrumental Solo.

This is a rare opportunity to hear one of the greatest jazz pianists in the world.......trust me! Here’s what some have said about the trio;

"Interplay is a jazz trio of extraordinary gifts and consummate musicianship. It's hard to imagine a more synergistic gathering of virtuosity and the sheer joy of musical conversation". Richard Simon – Bird Magazine


"Interplay is a close-knit group that plays with an innocence and exuberance too much absent in out sober times".Jim Merod – Jazz News

Their self titled first album was selected on the 1998 Grammy ballot/selections in four categories:

Best Jazz Instrumental Performance of a Group; (Interplay)

Best Jazz Instrumental Solo; Lori Bell – (It’s Just Talk)

Best Instrumental Composition; Dave Mackay – (Joyful)

Best Instrumental Solo; Dave Mackay – (Joyful)

All of the concerts in this series hosted by the San Dieguito Performing Arts Association have completely sold out.......please come early to get a seat. Opening the show with two songs is a young vocal choir called Caprice — they are wonderful.

LORI BELL RECEIVES ENDORSEMENT FROM PEARL FLUTES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear Beezwax Friends and Acquaintances,

I remember a phase in Jr. High School when I wanted to purchase a flute and learn to play it well. It was mostly Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull who caused such a wild thought. But the price for the instrument was too high as far as the family budget was concerned. Besides, I already had work ahead as an aspiring percussionist. (My mastery of percussion eventually excelled to the extent that I could play the first six notes of "Jingle Bells" upon virtually any object with my bare knuckles, and it has not diminished since.)

At about the same time as my "flute phase" another young lady had already taken this silver wind instrument to a level of musicality that escapes a good many players to this day; Lori Bell. Never in all my days did I dream that Lori's first solo CD release would end up on this tiny record label called Beezwax. Everything about it bespeaks excellence and a dedication to musical expression that is not at all cheap or easy to find.

We wanted to let you know that Lori recently received an endorsement from Pearl Flutes. This is no small accomplishment. Pearl is recognized as a leader in flute design, manufacturing, and quality. Believe me, the endorsement is well-deserved. Lori is a musician of uncompromising enthusiasm and excellence. She happens also to be a delightful individual altogether.

Please join us in a round of applause, a tip of the hat, a slug from the mug, and hearty congratulations to Lori.

Thank you!

Dear Friends & Fans,

It's Super Bowl weekend and everyone is into it but me...oh well, I just don't get it, but for those of you who do I hope you have a wonderful time.

Next Saturday, February 1st, our trio INTERPLAY is back up in the Los Angeles area at the New York Grill for our monthly gig with pianist Dave Mackay. Ron & I look forward to this immensely. We have been recording these gigs at the Grill and have decided to put out another CD called INTERPLAY LIVE. Of course when it's all said and done I will let you know and we'll have a big party. For our fans in L.A. the gig is from 8:30pm until 11:30pm. For more information the phone is (909)-987-1928.

Another gig that might interest folks who live in north county is on Thursday February 6th at noon. This one is at Palomar College with just me and Ron Satterfield playing duets. This will be held in the music dept. in room D-10.

If you like orchestral music and don't mind hopping over the border, I will be playing first flute with a wonderful symphony orchestra at the Cultural Center in Tijuana. The concerts are on Monday February 24th and Tuesday the 24th. Tickets can be purchased at the Cultural Center. The music is Beethoven's ninth symphony. This is a stretch for me but I truly love it.

Next month we have a recital at State University, a concert at Dizzy's and a few other things I'll let you know of as we get closer.

Hope to see you soon.

Warmest Regards,

Lori Bell

Dear Friends & Fans,

I hope everyone is having a great summer.

It was an honor to be invited to perform for the National Flute Association this year. On Friday August 8th I played for a couple thousand flutists at the Riviera Hotel in Vegas....it was a wonderful time!

While I was there I landed an endorsement with Pearl Flutes! In about a month or less I’ll be on their website and will own a top of the line flute. Right now I play a beautiful Maesta (I use a Drelinger Headjoint on it). Over the past 20 years I’ve recorded several CD’s on Pearl Flutes so this endorsement is a match made in heaven.

Now on to performances:

Pianist Dave Mackay, guitarist Ron Satterfield, and flutist Lori Bell make up the group INTERPLAY. Come hear us Sunday August 31st 7pm till 10:30pm at CHAYA BRASSERIE in Beverly Hills California. 8741 Alden drive. 310-859-8833.

Saturday September 6th INTERPLAY will be back at the New York

Grill from 7:30pm untill 10:30pm. The grill is located at 950 Ontario Mills Drive, Ontario California. For more information call (909) 987-1928. A live CD project from this venue is soon to come.

Saturday September 13th I’ll be doing a local gig here in San Diego at Sea Port Village outside in the gazebo from 4pm to 6pm. Joining me is guitarist Ron Satterfield and percussionist Kevin Koch.

In the meantime, this Friday 8/22 and Sunday 8/24 I’ll be performing the opera Pagiachi with the International Orchestra across the border at the Cultural Center. (Just to keep you posted)
