The Berkshires' Jazz Day Camp 2018

RICHARD BOULGER
North Adams native and 1984 graduate of Drury High School,

Richard Boulger received the legacy of trumpet playing and teaching first from his father, Richard Boulger, Sr. Boulger has since spent a lifetime studying the art forms of playing the trumpet and flugelhorn with a ‘who’s-who’ list of jazz greats, as well as music composition, and improvisation.

After completing his BFA from The Hartt School of Music and Master’s degree from Rutgers University, Boulger became a longtime private student of both Freddie Hubbard and Donald Byrd, and studied music composition extensively with Ludmila Uhlela (former chair of Contemporary Music, Manhattan School of Music). Boulger produced numerous albums as a leader and recorded with several diverse Grammy- and award-winning artists such as The Allman Brothers’ Band, Little Louie Vega, “Joe,” Randy Brecker, Joshua Thompson, and John Hicks. Freddie Hubbard declared, “I am very happy and honored to be a witness to a great trumpet player.”

As an educator, Richard has worked closely with over 30 NYC public schools as well as given numerous band clinics at colleges, high schools, middle schools, and private schools. His educational writings have been published in Downbeat Magazine, Hal Leonard Music, The New York Brass Conference, and many more. He also teaches numerous private students in New York City as well as internationally, via SKYPE. Most recently, Boulger created and published “Long-Tone Meditations” and is a co-creator of RS Berkeley’s new JORB, a brass-embouchure training tool.

Alex Foster, tenor, alto saxophonist and multi-woodwind artist, is a mu-sical heavyweight famous for his over quarter-century of performances with the House Band of “Saturday Night Live,” is also a musical director of the Mingus Big Band. From Oakland, California, Alex Foster has been part of many of the world’s most influential sounds. Foster has shared the stage with world-class performers including Jaco Pastorius, Herbie Han-cock, McCoy Tyner, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Freddie Hubbard, Nat and Cannonball Adderley, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Gil Evans, John Scofield, Charles Mingus, Elvin Jones, Thad Jones, Tito Puente, Michael Brecker, Dizzy Gillespie, Aretha Franklin, Aerosmith, Stevie Wonder, Dr. John, Paul Simon, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Eddie Van Halen, The Village People, Sister Sledge,
Al Green, Johnny Mathis, Diana Ross, and many others.

Foster has had his work with the Mingus Big Band, Mingus Dynasty, and the Mingus Big Band nominated for a Grammy Award in 2005. A wood-winds instructor, Foster is also a master player of the clarinet and flute and teaches in master-class workshops up and down the east coast to students from middle school through college.

Alex Blake is a post-bop double-bassist and electric bass guitarist. Blake was born Alejandro Blake Fearon, Jr., in Panama, and moved to the U.S. at the age of 7, where he grew up in Brooklyn, NY. He began his career with Sun Ra in his band Arkestra. He became one of the major proponents of the fusion movement in the late 1970s with his writing and performances with Lenny White and Billy Cobham.

A live performance compilation was released by Bubble Core Records in 2000 entitled, Now is the Time: Live at the Knitting Factory. The album features Blake’s own quintet which included Pharaoh Sanders, Victor Jones, John Hicks, and Neil Clarke (percussion). In addition to leading his own group, Blake also plays and records with Randy Weston, and many other musicians.

“Victor Jones is a new breed of outstanding drummer bandleaders....nothing Jones does is ever boring.”
New York Time Out Magazine

For the past several years, Jones has been recording and performing with his own group, Culture-Versy, effortlessly blending Hip Hop, Urban Soul, Modern Jazz, and Funk. Victor Jones is a leader who understands and plays with every facet of great American music and popular art forms.

Internationally recognized for his consistent, subtle, and stylist drumming on stage and in the studio, Victor Jones is known as an innovator who is not afraid to bring together different styles and sounds. He has played on hundreds of recordings, played hundreds of live concerts and performed in clubs everywhere on this planet, often as a backing musician for a variety of well-known artists, including Lou Donaldson, Chaka Khan, Woody Shaw, Freddie Hubbard, Stan Getz, and many others.

Charles Blenzig is an American jazz pianist, composer, arranger, producer, and educator. In the mid-80s Blenzig joined the legendary Gil Evans’ Monday Night Orchestra that performed weekly at Sweet Basil Jazz Club. Blenzig has performed with Michael Brecker, Marcus Miller, Bill Evans (saxophonist with Miles Davis), Hiram Bullock, Lew Soloff, Kenwood Dennard, Eddie Gomez, Dave Weckle, Joe Locke, Harvey Mason, Joe Beck, and Italian rapper Jovanotti, among others. Blenzig has been musical director for singer/songwriter Michael Franks since 1990, and for the late Latin jazz saxophonist Gato Barbieri. Blenzig has toured extensively throughout the world as a leader and sideman including South Africa, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, Republic of Georgia, Europe and Korea.

Professor Blenzig is a member of the SUNY Purchase Conservatory Jazz Department faculty along with Jon Faddis, Hal Galper, John Abercrombie and Todd Coolman.
