Eeg-Fonnesbæk

"Throughout the album, Eeg proves to be an expert in the art of inflection. She stresses a lyric in unexpected yet appropriate ways, demonstrates unerring intonation and pitch control, and shows herself to be an impressive improviser and communicator ... Fonnesbæk, not surprisingly, proves to be a sympathetic ally. He delivers rock solid riffs and he manages to establish and trace the harmonic foundations of a song while dancing along with Eeg. His acoustic bass work is completely grounded, locking in the time and adding weight to the music, and his electric work, filled with chord-anchoring notes, harmonics, and guitar-esque strums, helps to give the music greater textural depth. These two make for a perfect pair, making Eeg-Fonnesbæk a fetching date worth seeking out".

"Alt fremført med bare to "instrumenter". Minimalisme rummer den risiko, at et album som helhed kan blive kedeligt, men det sker ikke for Sinne Eeg og Thomas Fonnesbæk. De to synes tvært imod - med deres nøgne tilgang til materialet, deres eminente samspil og deres fint afstemte klange - at åbne til et farverigt indre, som changerer i utallige farver. Deres forehavende er kunstnerisk udfordrende, men de formår at få det bedste frem i hinanden, hvorfor denne anmelder må konkludere, at Eeg Fonnesbæk er et af den prisvindende Sinne Eegs bedste albums til dato".

"On her U.S. album debut (...) Eeg offers riveting candid, incisive readings of seven standards. The duo's nimble exploratory passages recall those of Sheila Jordan with Cameron Brown, or Dee Dee Bridgewater with Reggie Workman. From her opening humming on "Willow Weep For Me", Eeg shows she's steeped in tradition but pushing it in her own direction. With technique and sensitivity aplenty, she touches on Anita O'Day's airy vibrato in "Body And Soul" ... An alto slipping into falsetto, Eeg takes charge on a loping "Summertime", her nuanced scat veering amid firm bass arpeggios".
