Lori Bell, Jazz Flautist & Quartet - The American Jazz Story: Joe Henderson, Charles Mingus, and the global roots of modern jazz
7:30 pm Saturday, April 18th - First UU Church Hillcrest

Fresh arrangements of jazz standards. "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 at this time". ~ Jazz da Gama. Get tickets.
