   About Kyoko Kitamura

"a major asset...Kitamura is an expressive vocalist who knows how to be quirky and eccentric but is also quite musical."

(Alex Henderson - All Music Guide)

"Kitamura's voice is an amazing instrument"

(Richard Kamins - Hartford Courant)

"Kyoko Kitamura is a wonderful storyteller and has a lovely, remarkably flexible voice; she writes from the standpoint of someone who has seen a lot of the world -- she is a former foreign correspondant -- however, she is not "worldly." There is a sense of wonder, awe and innocence in her voice, tempered somewhat by an innate and inscrutable sense of loneliness. "

(Uncle Dave Lewis, music writer)

"an extraordinary experimental/jazz vocalist"

(Downtown Music Gallery)
