Skylark (Paul Desmond album)

Skylark is an album by American jazz saxophonist Paul Desmond featuring Gábor Szabó recorded in 1973 and released on the CTI label.

Reception
The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 3 stars and stated "Paul Desmond injects a bit of the 1970s into his sound, obtaining agreeable if not totally simpatico results... It's a cautious change of pace for Desmond, although the fiercer context into which he was placed doesn't really fire his imagination". ==Track listing==
