The Brian Woodruff Sextet boasts a stellar cast of musicians and performs original compositions and arrangements that cover a wide variety of moods, grooves, and harmonic styles.  The sextet is designed to incorporate the extended compositional possibilities of a big-band while retaining the improvisational flexibility and economic advantages of a small group.  Our music is undoubtedly cutting-edge modern jazz, but we hope you’ll still be tapping your feet, nodding your head, and humming some of the tunes on your way home.

…supreme technical delivery…adds up to a very significant, incrementally impressive reading of this quite wonderful music. –Raul Da Gama, JazzDaGama

…one can feel the deep rootedness of the author in the post-bop traditions…interesting, creative and deserving of careful listening. -Leonid Auskren, Jazz Quad

…arranged with a soulful crispness reminiscent of Oliver Nelson…Woodruff has managed the knack of making a small group sound bigger than it is.  -Jerome Wilson, All About Jazz
