Boyce Justice Griffith | Patience | Single
FIRST SINGLE FROM UPCOMING ALBUM “PATIENCE”
Saxophonist and composer Boyce Justice Griffith emphasizes the beauty and necessity of being grounded in one’s principles with his concept album, The Point
No matter one’s age, demographic, nationality, religion, or political affiliation, each human being undeniably has some treasured personal tenets that are held dear and are paramount to one’s definition of self. Likewise, each individual’s central values have in some way been informed by a series of experiences, relationships, and ideologies that have uniquely and organically played out in their life in a definitive way. Saxophonist and composer Boyce Justice Griffith posits that, regardless of what one holds dear, there are such universal moods and experiences that form the building blocks of every person. Griffith’s upcoming album The Point expounds on this idea through the timeless mediums of swing and the blues to explore such key existential elements such as faith, solitude, arrogance, justice, confidence, and comfort/rest.
The Point is an exploratory concept album that seeks to both evoke and unpack the complex emotions that Griffith expresses are at the center of humanity. The album’s mission is, in many ways, embedded within the very title of the record itself. The phrase “the point” can be seen to in part answer the common question, “what is the point?” as applied to a vast array of scenarios within life. In answering this question, Griffith implores listeners to return to their core values and to seek truth within that process. Further emphasis of this idea is found in the album’s structure: throughout The Point, Griffith has restated and rearranged the main musical theme of the title track, acting as a running metaphor. “Core principles can look different each time they appear in our own lives,” Griffith says, “and can take on different properties based on the various situations in which we need to utilize them.”
