Attention is given, as radio host in Miami Florida, Ed Blanco of 88.9FM airs tracks and calls Sue Bell “Seattle’s Songbird and a terrific jazz vocalist.”~~~

Michael Perry/ MusicianReviews, writes: “Fresh yet familiar, the integrity of her talented vocals is sure, and the selections are flawlessly executed from flowing, emotion triggering songs to quick-pulsed, swinging tunes that make your feet move almost involuntarily.”~~~

Harvey Siders: Emmy Award-winning composer, and well known jazz critic for Down Beat Jazz Times and the Tacoma Tribune, writes: “Only Love’ is one great achievement. I swear I’ve been wearing out my copy and in the process, falling in love with Sue’s dulcet tones. The most versatile tool in her vocal arsenal is ‘that voice’. Sue Bell, is blessed with a wondrous, sensitive instrument that can transform ballads into tear-provoking poetry.”~~~

TESTIMONIALS ON LIVE PERFORMANCES:
(Sent to Seattle Times)
Dear Ms. Wagner,

I’ve never been to the moon before – not until Sue Bell’s performance at Jazz Alley last night, that is. After momentarily coming out the spell she somehow cast, I scanned the audience to see smiles everywhere, and the only one who wasn’t smiling was holding her hand up to her dropped jaw. Wow! Wow! Wow! I wish I were an expert, so I could give you proper music terminology and solid specifics, but the only word that comes to mind is “jazzalicious”! Whatever you can do to shine a light on this amazing Seattle talent, she soooooo deserves it. I’m not sure where or when she’ll be performing next, but if you’re so inclined, you can learn more about her and her latest album, “Only Love” at: http://www.suebellsings.com

Great show tonight Sue! Not only was your singing amazing but your band was outstanding.

Also- its refreshing to see some one so talented still remain down to earth and gracious to all the people who have helped them and to the music that really means something to them.

I’m sure the Maestro would have been proud.

Will look forward to many more shows from you- again- fantastic night of music.

Thank you, Paul Bridges Seattle, WA

Sue, it was a real pleasure seeing you tonight for another great performance. The way you hung on to some of those last notes tonight was amazing… and the rest of the trio was stellar as always.

Thanks again for a great night of music and sharing your talent with us.

smiles & cheers
Gerard~

Sue- nice show tonight- it was great hearing you outdoors! And your band was fantastic as usual! You certainly flow with some talented artists.

One thing about when you perform- I always appreciate the injected insights on songs and your history as well- its very cool that you share that live.
