Estes Park Trail Gazette, July 29, 2005
By Janice Mason
A delightful evening of jazz filled the evening skies on Wednesday night, when Lisa Bell played at Performance Park. Bell arrived from Boulder with her band commenting, "this is the most fabulous place I've ever played. Tonight is magical." Bell told a story of an early experience in Estes Park when she was singing in the Chapel at Cheley Camp. "Here I was in this Chapel looking out over the valley, and someone came up to me and said, 'you know, you can sing.' That was the beginning," she said. Bell sang songs from her new CD, "It's All About Love," jazz standards, and a rendition of "Favorite Things" from "The Sound of Music." The crowd cheered and responded to Bell's crystal clear sound. And Bell commented that the Estes Park audience at Performance Park was her best audience. "You win the summer award for the best crowd," she said. It is apparent that Bell likes performing and especially enjoyed the Performance Park venue. She mentioned several times that she would like to return to Estes Park. Those who had the pleasure of hearing Bell perform Wednesday night are sure to welcome her back.
