I bought the new live DVD by Boz Scaggs. What an incredible band he had that night. Boz is no slouch either on his axe.
But I keep playing the first encore tune, Runnin' Blue. Rich has a solo near the end and he absolutely tears it up. I have done a search on the internet and didn't turn up a whole lot on him. Can any of you Bay area cats tell us more about him? I love the way he twirled his horn too. A bit of a showman. Anybody know about his equipment? It looked pretty unique.

I know Rich. cool player. Last time I saw him he had a Taylor trumpet.
I love Runnin Blue and would like to hear the cd. Who else is in the horn section?
On the original recording of Runnin Blue, my mentor Tom Poole plays trp.
I love the head on that tune! The high E sounds so much higher. I play that head all the time. Every trumpet player should know it.
Rich is also a good vocalist and front man.
Oh it's a DVD. I wonder if I can rent it???

Eric,
I thought I read somewhere that it's on CD too, but that not all the songs from the DVD got on.

Saw/heard him last night with Cold Blood. Playing on Taylor trumpet and flugel (very funky horn, that), and lots of percussion, and really kickin' it. Never saw a trumpet play with that many pedals, though. 
Nice guy, though. After chatting a while, he handed me his trumpet - which is VERY heavy.
