Sounds Like: Subtlty, vibe, swing, acoustic warmth—all aptly describe the feel of For All We Know. Schell’s connection to Bill Evans, Hank Jones, Red Garland et al. is clear, yet she also evokes more modern lyricists such as Fred Hersch, Kenny Werner, and particularly Lynne Arriale with her masterful blending of an Evans-touched elegance with a Monkish rhythmic playfulness
