"epic... alien soundscapes from some distant otherworld... enigmatic and well worth probing."
-Jazz Times, album review of iterative systems
"far out (in space, of mind)... something of future legend... a sonic trip."
-Tone Shift, album review of iterative systems
"Moore and Hutchins are part of electroacoustic improv’s well-hewn dynasty... This canary's done blasted that coalmine, that's for sure."
-Downtown Music Gallery, album review of iterative systems
"a decidedly avant-garde excursion... fans of “classic” European and newer electroacoustic improv should take note."
-The Vinyl District, album review of iterative systems
"strange, specific, provocative, original and simply weird... really interesting to listen to this album."
-Avant Scena, album review of iterative systems
"neat."
-The Deli Magazine, album review of iterative systems
From the outset one is struck by Hutchins’s formidable technique. His driving, direct approach to the music is supported by extremely clear, rapid-fire articulation; precise rhythm and finger technique; and largely excellent intonation. He handles the altissimo effortlessly and has an enviable uniformity of tone.
The Saxophone Symposium album review of Images: American Sonatas
skilled improvisers, no doubt about it… That bc+1 could make room for so much sound, so much chaos, all arising in the moment of improvisation, and yet also yield such vivid contradictions and concordances is its biggest success.
I Care If You Listen album review of bc+1
Hutchins and Moore display their individual virtuosity, and group musicianship to create a cohesive product. 'click/blow' is well worth the listen.
Signals for Images album review of click/blow
a full on noise-jazz symphony... there really is no good reason for not having this in your collection and coming out of your speakers regularly.
Raised by Gypsies album review of click/blow
An impressive achievement, both artistically and technically.
VitaMN performance review of eclipse at Skewed Vision
Captivating… plenty of inspiration here.
The Flute View Magazine album review of Interactions
[a] good version of the last movement of the Feld Sonata by Jeffery Kyle Hutchins.
The Seattle Star performance review
Jeffery Kyle Hutchins is an outstanding saxophonist who has the keen ability to present convincing interpretations in a wide range of musical styles.
Eugene Rousseau saxophonist
A performer of real energy and brilliance.
James Dillon composer
Kyle is an amazing musician! Texture and depth!
Chaya Czernowin composer
This an amazing performance -- one I'd want to have anyone hear to experience the piece the way I want it to be experienced. The sounds, characters, and structural shapes and contrasts of the piece couldn't be captured in a more compelling way. And beyond all that, you guys totally rock out!
Don Freund composer
I was especially taken... you could practically see the energy!
Libby Larsen composer
You played it just as I would have dreamed it!
Miriama Young composer
Thrilling performance of ‘Buon Natale’...
Volker Heyn composer
one of the most technically challenging saxophone recitals I have ever witnessed… a brazen display of virtuosity and endurance... impeccably prepared and conceptually unified…
Jeremy Wagner composer
Kyle is without question the most talented saxophonist - and one of the most talented musicians - I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with… a smart musician who knows how to control the energy of a performance to create the greatest artistic impact.
Ted Moore composer
You sound really good on [This is This is This is], and I think your playing is really well suited to the piece. There are lots of great moments…
Eric Wubbels composer
