Album Description
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
