Bell, whose sterling musical career spans several decades as a teacher, composer and brilliant jazz pianist says the following about the new CD "...The Feeling of Jazz establishes the fact that BLUES lies at the foundation of JAZZ." He goes on to say, "There is something magical about jazz...in all its various forms and the attempt here is to celebrate the close relationship in contrasting styles."

It was the Jazz God, Duke Ellington who coined the phrase, "It don't mean a thing it ain't got that Swing!" Most assuredly, Swing has to be a primary goal in jazz performance. And Bill Bell's release, "Just Swing Baby", represents his most purposeful return to the type of jazz that makes you want to tap your feet.
