WRTI Presents: CD Celebration for Flutist Walter Bell
The buzz is growing about flute virtuoso Walter Bell and his all-star ensemble, the Latin Jazz Unit. With his sixth and latest release, Live at Sedona, Bell has solidified his reputation as a gifted musician, composer, producer and bandleader. His mastery and dedication to the flute is exceptional; he plays all of them - from alto flute, to bass flute to piccolo.
Bell is one of the few jazz musicians who plays the flute exclusively. For him, the flute is not a "second" instrument to playing a saxophone primarily - as is typically the case in a jazz context. Says Bell, "The flute is the closest instrument to the human voice. I can make the instrument laugh, cry, or dance. I want my music to always be accessible to people."
