"...The work of Jef Neve is a real relief in days of protechnical stuff. Jef Neve is hardly 26, but his maturity is astonishing. Everyone who saw the young man playing with Wynton Marsalis and some of his musicians of the Lincoln Jazz Orchestra a couple of months ago knew it already: Jef Neve is here to stay!"

"...Blue Saga is the titilating debute of the young belgian jazz pianist Jef Neve. The first piece swallows and turns you into a melancholic atmosphere. But afterwards he plays more funny and rythmical stuff and the second piece ends in a classical lyrical piece where you can hear some of his classical influences. His lines are as clear as cristal and they attract your attention. He lets his compositions breathe."

(De Standaard, 9/6/2003)
