"12 Songs is an album of imagination above all else. Like her frequent employer Bill Frisell (whom she employs here), Jenny Scheinman composes vignettes that frame a world for listeners to find comfort, not just through its distant familiarity, but with enough imaginative angularity to convert the most common hue of blue into a feathering peacock’s rainbow of one simple color. And this world is truly more imaginative and vivacious than most jazz being produced today—whether it is concerned with memorable melodies or smoldering solos."
