Richard Boulger is the man!"
Greg Allman

Richard Boulger must rank as an unknown, but if enough people listen and buy his first CD, he may soon become a force to be reckoned with in the field of modern jazz. Here’s a fellow who possesses the technique, tone and temperament to become a force.”
Bob Powers-G21

“Boulger’s fat sound and odd intervals arrest the listener with clarity and communicative power…with clear debt to his hard bop predecessors, Boulger crafts improvisations consisting of controlled force, half valve implications, and crisp upper register work.”
Jazz News Magazine

“Richard Boulger is a trumpeter who plays with a fat sound in the modern tradition. Boulger presents exciting originals in the post-hard bop idiom, and others with a spacey spirituality and a nod to the cosmos. The arrangements and group interplay are intriguing, and the talent is there, with a dollop of soul.”
JazzTimes Magazine

“I don’t know why I haven’t heard of him before because he certainly is in the front ranks of jazz trumpet players in terms of style and originality.”
Bill Donaldson
