VOCAL PERFORMANCE
Reviews & Recommendations
“As an experienced scholar of multiple musical traditions, I am always on the lookout for musicians who have the talent, savvy, and dedication to understand and convey repertories across several genres. This kind of multiple approach is necessary for the kind of mixing of intersecting styles that is so essential to effective twenty-first century musical interpretation.
Without any doubt, I consider Jazz Bell the embodiment of such a poly-stylistic singer: equally at home in East Asian traditions, contemporary pop, blues, and musical theater styles, they have worked carefully with multiple strands of vocal technique to gain nimble and expressive facility in each.
Their systematic approach and nuanced musicianship will benefit any collaborative venture; I think that their flexible ability to convey text in ways that are beautifully suited to a specific subject and genre will also prove satisfying and successful to their musical collaborators, and their rich vocal quality will mesmerize audiences.
Jazz’s kindness, patience, and good humor are as thorough a component of their skill-set as their multifaceted vocal expertise: I recommend them enthusiastically!”
