Recording title: Suggestions
“Lark and McNeely’s rapport and interplay is always
tasteful and often breathtaking.”
- Jack Bowers, All About Jazz
“Lark’s solo on A Child Is Born is as beautiful as you’d
find anywhere, with his burnished flugelhorn tone as
warm as a hug from a loved one.”
- Jeff Krow, Audiophile Audition
“This is creative and risk-taking music, played with
commitment and vitality that engages the listener.”
- James Ketch, International Trumpet Guild Journal

Recording title: In Her Eyes
“The trumpeter plays with exuberance, skill and feeling.”
- Owen Cordle, Jazz Times
“Bob Lark blows up a storm and altoist Phil Woods
catches fire on this smoking quintet performance.”
- Edward Blanco, All About Jazz
“Lark wrote six of the ten tracks on this CD and his taste,
as well as his horn playing, is impeccable. The title
track, In Her Eyes, is a gorgeous ballad and Phil and
Bob warmly express what must be a paean to a
beautiful woman.”
- Jeff Krow, Audiophile Audition
“This is one Lark whose song you must hear.”
- Jack Bowers, All About Jazz
Recording title: Until You
“Lark’s soloing is art. It is clear, distinctive, and as he
lays it in the groove, listeners will discover that his
musical language is well understood. With artists such
as Bob Lark offering their talent to audiences around the
world, you can believe the art of jazz is in great hands.”
- Paula Edelstein, All Music
“Lark’s improvisations are intelligently sculpted,
particularly on his own A Narrow Path, The Things We
Did Last Summer, and his muted version of Bye, Bye
Blackbird. Only his horn is muted: his ideas are clear
and eloquent.”
- Harvey Siders, JazzTimes
“Classic is the word that comes to mind to describe this
wonderful album from trumpet and flugelhorn player Bob
Lark.”
- Lester French, WMEB 91.9 FM
Recording title: First Steps
“Lark’s tunes are excellent, especially Cathy’s Song, a
wonderful ballad played beautifully by Lark, and Rum
Point, a catchy Bossa Nova.”
- Robert Allison, International Trumpet Guild Journal
Recording title: Live At The Jazz Showcase
“The album captures the group's pulsating efforts in
churning out dazzling reads of four dynamic standards
and three Lark originals. As good as the previous
quintet collaboration was, this recording in some
respects seems to eclipse their first effort.”
- Edward Blanco, All About Jazz
“The Sound Mix is just right for a live recording and Lark
and Woods, as usual, make a good team. I especially
liked Lark's original compositions - Ravenswood, Mad
Dan's and Cathy's Song.”
- Jeff Krow, Audiophile Audition
“This is what I call "the real deal." No pretense, no odd
combinations, nothing terribly outside or experimental.
And maybe that's why it's so good.”
- George Fendel, Jazz Society of Oregon
"That Lark doesn't Just hang but sounds like he belongs is no
small feat. His rich tone and lithe phrasing are a great fit for
Woods' relaxed swing."
- Down Beat
