| Lori Bell "Brooklyn Dreams" CD Release Celebration  CD release concerts for "Brooklyn Dreaming" - Lori Bell Quartet plus special guest Dan LevineA flutist and composer of admirable depth and broad musical sympathies, Brooklyn native Lori Bell has contributed to the development of higher standards of performance while earning acclaim from both peers and critics for her artistry on stage and in recordings. On Brooklyn Dreaming, Bell's 9th studio album, due for release on January 15, 2016, the composer pays homage to her familial roots with an extraordinary opus that extolls vivid memories of the vibrancy of New York City. "Lori 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 ιlan. 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 Brooklyn Dreaming features 6 originals + explorations of Monk, Mingus & Hagen. "Visionary, transcendent pieces.
