Brian Woodruff & Friends features a revolving cast of musicians performing a mix of my original compositions with jazz standards and beyond, performed by a straight-ahead, but adventurous quartet, and we often feature a vocalist on select originals and standards.

“…one can feel the deep rootedness of the author in the post-bop traditions…-Leonid Auskren, Jazz Quad

“…honest, not forced, not pretentious. Some of the other jazz I’ve listened to of late has felt bogged down by overachieving geniuses. I’m not saying Brian Woodruff isn’t accomplished, but it’s music I can identify with at last…” -Gray Hunter, A Hand in the Act of Writing
