about

On Palm Sunday, April 2, 2023, the Griffin Woodard Quartet recorded a live concert at the legendary Deer Head Inn. LIVE at the DEER HEAD INN is a no-holds-barred performance that gracefully begins and ends with the devotional Palm Sunday hymn “All Glory, Laud, and Honor”. In between these solemn bookends are two powerful volumes of rollicking musical offerings.

Volume I begins with a resonant suite which includes Woodard’s “Route 1” and “Camillus House” from his debut album Completion, Alice Coltrane’s “Blue Nile”, and Louis Bourgeois' “Doxology”. The suite is rooted in spiritual symbolism acknowledging watershed places and crossroads that led to Woodard’s father’s triumph over drug and alcohol addiction. Volume I ends with a boisterous, devil-may-care Woodard composition dubbed “Alchemy”, which prominently features the drums and bass clarinet speaking to each other with fierce interplay.

Volume II begins with the formidable “Emerald” which vacillates between a thunderous rubato melody and a fiery minor blues. “Precious One” is a delicate flower composed by drummer Hugh Kline. It stands apart from the others by offering a welcome respite from the weighty emotional turbulence surrounding it. “Polyphemus”, another Kline piece, distinguishes itself by its uncanny, harmonic modernism. Wrapping up, “Kyrie” carries the listener full circle to the somber depths of the beginning suite. The blues are once again revisited with full-throttled reverence.
