“The violinist blends gypsy and prog coming up with a very lyrical sound that lacks not for chops. Jazz violin has its glitzy side but the Scheinman Quartet does its best to investigate shimmering realms without getting all shiny - an admirable maneuver." -- Village Voice

“Her compositions are unsentimental string melodies that hang thin, strong and high like spider webs in a garden." -- The LA Weekly

“A virtuoso violinist with an astonishing array of sounds, from lightning fast runs to breathtaking melodic passages...Scheinman writes emotionally charged, dramatically textural music." -- San Francisco Bay Guardian

“Jenny Scheinman is one of the most versatile young violinists in that netherworld falling in between the cracks of jazz, classical, country and rock...Gorgeous melodies, romantic moods and musical fireworks from one of the shining lights of the west coast scene." -- John Zorn

“A talented violinist with a well developed ear." -- Mark Feldman (violinist whose credits include: Dave Douglas, Bill Frisell, John Zorn and Pharoah Sanders)
