Carri Bella performs jazz standards, popular tunes in jazz styles and vocalese (singing previously improvised instrumental solos with lyrics added).

Performances include a mix of styles, including swing, bossa nova, blues, sultry ballads and more. Carri leans towards "cool jazz" typified by artists of the late '50s and '60s, but likes to mix it up by including songs from multiple decades.

​

She also loves to perform jazzy renditions of traditional holiday tunes for seasonal parties and events.
