從紐約茱莉亞音樂學院一路古典音樂科班出身到哥倫比亞大學音樂博士的高學歷，陳若玗決心打破框架，走入另一端的爵士自由世界，他可以是橫走古典音樂到爵士樂的超完美結合。台灣有史以來唯一一位爵士鋼琴家列入史坦威名人堂。 

目前旅居紐約的旅美音樂家陳若玗，除了在美國重量級的爵士雜誌《Downbeat》、《Jazziz》及《All about Jazz》、法國的《Rolling Stone》、《Jazzman》、德國的《JAZZTHETIK》、《Jazz thing》、義大利的《MusicaJazz》、瑞士的《Le Temps》、挪威的《Dagbladet》及《Dagens Næringsliv》、日本的《Jazz Japan》 （前身Swing Journal）等雜誌均有極大的迴響之外，她也曾獲選為法國《L'Express》的2014年度最佳25張專輯之高度肯定，並多次接受歷史悠久的《ジャズ批評》和台灣的《Muzik古典樂刊》深度專訪。 

陳若玗大膽的將紮實的古典底子運用在自己的創作中，古典樂的細膩與爵士樂的不羈，造就了她渾然天成的獨特色彩。她也以創新的思維與不妥協的執著，透過音樂創作呈現帶著豐富層次與細節的黑色浪漫，並在國際音樂市場佔有一席之地。 

A native of Taiwan, New York-based pianist and composer Jo-Yu Chen began her formal musical training at the age of five. After moving to New York City to study at the prestigious Juilliard School, she discovered a diverse musical scene thriving in the heart of the city and decided to take the leap from classical music to jazz. She is the first Taiwanese jazz artist signed to a major record label, and has also joined the distinguished international roster of Steinway Artists. 

Chen has been featured in jazz magazines internationally. Her previous Album "Stranger" was voted "25 best albums of the year" in French weekly magazine "L'Express". 

She received rave reviews in Downbeat, Jazziz, All About Jazz, and also appeared in Japanese magazines, such as "Jazz Japan" (formerly Swing Journal) as "Star of the Month", and Jazz Critique (ジャズ批評) with a 3-pages in-depth interview. Others include center fold publication in the Norwegian newspaper "Dagbladet", Rolling Stone (France), Jazzman (France), JAZZTHETIK (Germany), Jazz thing (Germany), Mnet (Korea), MusicaJazz (Italia), All About Jazz Italia, Jazzflits (Netherlands), Dagens Næringsliv (Norway), Le Temps (Switzerland), and Muzik (Taiwan).
