The Modern Line explores music from Lori Bell's award winning CD Brooklyn Dreaming. Musicians featured - flutist Lori Bell, pianist John Opferkuch, bassist Rob Thorsen, drummer Tyler Kreutel.
In 2016 Bell paid homage to her birthplace and tribute to her family.
"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
Brooklyn Dreaming was chosen Editors Pick and Best CD's of 2016 in Downbeat Magazine - Best in Jazz in Huffington Post and won a Global Music Award for Outstanding Achievement.
