My guest this episode is Jeffery Kyle Hutchins, a saxophonist, creator, improviser, mover, shaker, dream breaker, and wish maker. Kyle is, thankfully, responsible for some of the weirdest things I've seen live. He's really one of the first people I saw perform experimental music, now that I think of it. There's a cool music trajectory here, so don't miss it! We talk experiments, the need for over-emoting, what to do when no one wants to jam, with some pretty cool and funny anecdotes to boot. Fun fact: since exploring some of the music we talked about during our chat, Spotify has been suggesting "Afrofuturism through a jazz lens" as a genre that I'm into.
And guess what? I'm into it.
