Trumpeter and composer Kevin Woods is quickly emerging as one of the most melodic and emotive voices in improvised music in the Northwestern United States. 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. Kevin has performed and given masterclasses throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.
Kevin lives in Bellingham, Washington, where he is active as a performer, educator and composer/arranger and serves as Director of Jazz Studies at Western Washington University. He leads the Kevin Woods Quartet; the quartet Broken, But Flying; and co-leads the Malmo, Sweden-based Woods/Axelsson Quartet.
