Baltimore trumpet player Brandon Woody delivers a striking debut album, with music designed to move, liberate and inspire connection. Through six original pieces, Woody transports listeners with the help of his band, Upendo.
For The Love Of It All is more than trumpeter and composer Brandon Woody’s recording debut; it is a manifesto, a ritual, a hymn to the enduring power of love. Joined by his band Upendo — Troy Long (piano, organ, Rhodes, keyboards), Quincy Phillips (drums), and Michael Saunders (bass) with special guests Imani Grace (vocals), Vittorio Stropoli (aux synth) — Woody extends an invitation into communion through six captivating original compositions.
