About Me


Canadian-born pianist, Gaea Schell is making a name for herself through her work the last several years in the Los Angeles area.For All We Know is delivered in a heartfelt manner with Schell’s voice bare in its honesty, and her piano sweetly sad and tender -Brad Walseth, Jazz Chicago
Schell is a real treat and this is a must for everyone that wants to be there first for some hot, new talent and have too-hip-for-the-room bragging rights -Chris Spector, Midwest Record

You not only have to know your own instrument, you must know the others and how to back them up at all times.” - Oscar Peterson“The most important thing I look for in a musician is whether he knows how to listen.” - Duke Ellington"When it comes to music, there are no scholars, no status and no names. It's all about Love. Love is what makes music." - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
