Lisa Bell & Crescendo

This jazz ensemble is perfect for large or small venues, and their style of music can be tailored for any event. Personnel include the core quartet of lead vocalist, piano, bass and drums, and Crescendo can add or subtract from there. Saxophone, flute, percussion and guitar are also available. The ensemble plays original material and traditional jazz standards often with a "twist" of modern and retro sounds. The group's repertoire also includes Motown and R&B standards with a jazz motif for a truly unique sound and entertaining show. The group has performed at venues including the 2004 JVC Winter Park Jazz Festival, A Taste of Colorado, Cherry Creek Arts Festival and clubs throughout Colorado.
