Blues Twilight Review

Midwest Record-CHRIS SPECTOR

You can only wade through so many of these cats that like to crow how they play in the tradition of… Boulger doesn’t crow about it, he just does it, and he doesn’t use it a as a crutch to cover his own shortcomings. And he might play like one of the past masters and icons, but he doesn’t try to play like them, he has a distinguishable style that clicks in with you quickly. This set has the feel and vibe of a lot of the stuff that was coming out around the time of “Kind of Blue”, but it stands on it’s own today. Very much a killer player that knows what he’s doing and does it right, Boulger is simply a great discovery waiting to happen. Trumpet fans haven’t had a cat like this to rally around for a while.
