“…this release highlights the importance of her own quartet as a vital exponent of Canadian jazz.”– Troy Dostert, All About Jazz, March 16, 2022

“If you met Tania Gill’s Bolger Station at a party, you’d quickly decide to hang out with it for the rest of the evening. It’s different, after all. A little eccentric, unpredictable. In the best way.” CKUA
“Gill’s spiky, sparse piano was most successful in channelling the eccentric spirit of the masterful Monk” –– Toronto Star
“Pianist/composer Tania Gill understands the understated power of lyricism… There’s evidence of Gill having drunk deeply at the double well of the Bleys (composer Carla and pianist Paul): in motifs, harmonic concepts, pianism and pauses….” — Exclaim Magazine
“In the end, Bolger Station makes itself a destination for many travellers, journeying alone or in groups, who may at different moments find it a very familiar place, or the portal to a wilderness where no cars go.” — The Globe and Mail
