“Kyoko Oyobe, pianist and composer, is adventurous. To hear her compositions, her interpretations of standards or classical themes…is truly exciting.”
— Christopher Parker
“Kyoko has a very sensitive approach to her playing arrangements and compositions, and the way she wants the music to emote. She is one of the new great jazz voices of Japan especially when it comes to giving credit to women in Jazz.”
— Victor Lewis
“Oyobe plays with gentleness and sincerity and her compositions are beautiful, highly lyrical and harmonically satisfying music, which seem to evolve organically and flow freely but have a keen sense of time, dynamics and form.”
