about

Griffin Woodard’s debut album, 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, is an uninhibited, autobiographical recount of potent memories and experiences that shaped the course of his life. The 10 original compositions and 1 arrangement chronicle Woodard’s formative experiences and lessons in love, isolation, connection, and spirituality.

“The Completion album has nothing to do with endings. The word completion means to me, spiritual wholeness,” states Woodard.

The journey on the 11 tracks from “Little Angel” to “Completion” captures the prolific virtuosity of the ensemble in a variety of contexts from solo to septet. The resplendent display of each band member's self-expression demands the listener’s undivided attention.

The Griffin Woodard Group’s magnetic sound features vocalist Georgia Heers, vocalist Deneen Jones, saxophonist Coleman Rose, pianist Abe Gold, bassist Miles Gilbert, and drummer Hugh Kline.

"Just like a jewelry box, all songs are shining and gorgeous."
- 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐘𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐚𝐤𝐢

“Griffin Woodard is one of the most gifted instrumentalists that’s come through my studio in some time. Not only is he a very lyrical and soulful player, but his composition technique is way beyond his years. I look for many great things in years to come for Griffin.”

"It is a rare encounter to feel so moved, even touched, by an album. Especially, a debut album."
- 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐬 𝐑𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐉𝐫., 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐚𝐳𝐳 𝐎𝐰𝐥

"Put Woodard on your short list of new players, as you will want to keep up with this massive bass clarinet trajectory upwards."
