| Wellington Sinfonia |
Kevin, I can't thank you, Fran, and the rest of the group enough for the contribution you made to the success of the afternoon. The crowd just loved your playing and you set the scene so magnificently...
Christine Pearce, General Manager, Wellington Sinfonia (Vector Orchestra)

| Weekend Sun |
…the musicianship throughout was nothing short of excellent… Kevin’s trumpet, Flugelhorn and piano playing was immaculate...
- Weekend Sun, Tauranga NZ

| The listener |
The musical inspiration for this group comes from Kevin Clark, whose flugelhorn and piano are now bywords in New Zealand jazz. There is no doubt in my mind that Kevin Clark is one of our finest musicians and knows exactly what he is doing.

| Wellington International Jazz Festival |
