“Take a listen to this and feel a new immediacy. I look forward to more from her. Meanwhile do not fail to hear this one.” - Gregory Applegate Edwards
“Jeong’s technique at the keyboard is shocking in its potency; her jackhammering left-hand figures bring to mind Cecil Taylor, Matthew Shipp, and the compositions of Galina Ustvolskaya.” - Phil Freeman, Bandcamp
“Eunhye Jeong: A pianist who draws both from the traditional Korean music of her heritage and the expansive language of the improvised avant-garde, Eunhye Jeong explores a range of sonic possibilities on Nolda, her latest solo recital. There’s some Cecil Taylor in her approach, but to invoke such handy comparisons does this music a disservice. Worth noting, too, that the album’s title is a Korean word that translates as “play.” Sept. 24. ESP-Disk. (Chinen)”
