Pianist

Flutist

"One of the West Coast's best kept secrets" (JazzPolice), the pianist, flutist and vocalist debuts in the Joe Henderson Lab with her working quartet and music from her latest Saphu Records release, In Your Own Sweet Way.  

Based in the Bay Area and hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, Schell had an early baptism in the Bay Area jazz scene at age six, taking recorder lessons from longtime Bobby Hutcherson drummer Eddie Marshall, a family neighbor.

Matriculation at Montreal’s McGill University and studies in New York with piano genius Richie Beirach solidified her technique, and dues paying with elders on the bandstand sharpened her instincts, leading to a rapid rise in her reputation along with grants from Canada Council for the Arts, Chamber Music America, and others.
