"While certainly not much of a surprise to folks that are familiar with her work as a sideperson or her Tzadik discs, Scheinman’s work continues to demand attention. As for 12 Songs, the impressionable melodies of its intriguing compositions matched with this terrific ensemble make this one of 2005’s great offerings."
