Dick Griffin: A Pioneer of "Circularphonics" and a Living Legend of Jazz & Soul

Dick Griffin is one of today’s leading trombone pioneers, boasting a career that spans over 60 years. A master technician, Griffin is celebrated for developing a highly personalized playing style known as "Circularphonics. " Inspired by his mentor Rahsaan Roland Kirk, this technique combines circular breathing with multiphonics, allowing Griffin to produce chords and extended ranges on the trombone that evoke the spirit of experimental giants like John Coltrane and Sun Ra. Griffin has performed with some of the biggest names in Jazz and Soul, as well as appearing with several symphony orchestras. A short list of the luminaries Mr. Griffin has worked with includes: Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Tito Puente, Art Blakey, Charles Mingus, Dizzy Gillespie, McCoy Tyner, Cecil Taylor, David Murray, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Sun Ra (Arkestra), The Temptations, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Nancy Wilson, Michael Jackson, Isaac Hayes, Dionne Warwick, and Lionel Hampton.

He currently resides in New York City where he continues to explore his musical and artistic boundaries creating art of the highest ground.
