“His advanced execution and uncanny ability to unfurl extraordinary phrases make him a trumpeter with whom to reckon”. -Brad Goode

Trumpeter/composer Kevin Woods has emerged as one of the most emotive voices in improvised music in the Northwest. His passion for both performance and education have made him in demand as a leader and a sideman as well as a composer, arranger and clinician. Woods lives in Bellingham, Washington where he is active as a performer, educator, author, composer/arranger, and serves as Professor of Music and Director of Jazz Studies at Western Washington University.
