'a mix of avant-garde techniques, yet at the same time some beautiful melodic harmonic moments that really transcend a specific placement within a genre.' - CutCommon Magazine.
'Elsen Price is as comfortable in classical, new music and world music, as he is in jazz and improvised music. A confident performer and composer with a broad imagination, he is definitely a bassist to keep an eye on.' AustralianJazz.net
