“Call it the miseducation of Robbie Hunsinger: a classically trained double-reed player, proficient on the oboe and several of its cousins, takes a left turn from Music of the Baroque and sinks waist deep in Chicago’s fertile avant-garde–performing with … legendary visitors like Evan Parker and Joseph Jarman. Hunsinger’s training, combined with her love for free improv, places her comfortably in the neutral territory between jazz and classical. “
Chicago Reader – Critic’s Choice by renown Jazz Critic and Author Neil Tesser
“Listen to her impeccable technique and considerable control of tone and color, and there’s no question that she’s a classically trained player who brings the European concert tradition to bear on virtually every piece she plays. But check out the way she can swing a phrase, plunge into a free-ranging solo or respond to a riff from a sideman, and it’s clear that she’s steeped in the vocabulary of avant-garde jazz improvisation, as well.”
Howard Reich Chicago Tribune
“Haunting, poetic and mesmerizing recording [with] goosebump-inducing emotional depth.
Introspective, lyrical, and steeped in mysticism.”
Hrayr Attarian All About Jazz
“If Hunsinger didn’t play her instruments so well, I’d simply call her a performance artist. But she’s plainly talented, deeply learned and wildly inventive in both her techniques and concepts. I just call her one of Nashville’s most important artists, and our best ambassador for more crossover at the edges of our city’s art and music scenes.”
Joe Nolan, Nashville Scene
“From the strange instrumentation (music box piano, Tibetan singing bowls) to eerie electronics, the performance was mesmerizing.”
Joseph E. Morgan, Nashville Arts Magazine
“Hunsinger’s woodwind playing recalls the Eastern-influenced post-bebop sound that John Coltrane found on Live at the Village Vanguard”
