"Kim Park has shown such respect for some of the masters, and in turn has mastered his craft."

- Clark Terry

"Kim Park tipped his wine to BIRD and made him smile"

"K.P. Chased the butterflies with his delicate musical sounds."

- Louie Bellson

"My favorite saxophonist to come along in years, and that flute!"

- Stan Getz

"The result is so musical, I feel certain BIRD himself is somewhere, somehow, smiling wicked approval." (Duet with Karrin Allyson on "Yardbird Suite")

- Rex  Reed

"I've never heard eighth-note lines that truly hung together played so fast as alto saxophonist Kim Park plays them in this cut ("Cherokee" @ 400BPM).

- Frank Conroy, NY Times/Esquire

"...Alto Saxophonist Kim Park and vetran trumpeter Jack Sheldon were the perfect partners for [Stan] Getz...A superb concert in total, but highest marks for all soloists are reserved for Park [who] plays with great rhythmic sense, clear logic and keen emotion. Park tells his solo stories with a clear beginning, middle and end..."

- William Johnson, Palo Alto Times-Tribune

"...Sax player Kim Park followed the [Wynton] Marsalis group with a really grand program. The up-front vitality of his Vince Guaraldi tribute, Lucy's Revenge, and his Kansas City salute, Strollin' on 12th Street, had all the swing and zest that completely captivates large audiences..."

- Mike Weatherford, Kansas City Star

"Stop practicing and mow the yard!"

- John Park
