Brandon Woody – For The Love Of It All (CD)
Product Details
Brandon Woody has been a vital presence in the Washington, D.C. jazz underground for years, building a reputation through relentless live performance and a deep commitment to the spiritual and communal dimensions of the music. His work sits comfortably in the lineage of trumpeters who treat the horn as a vessel for something larger than technique, drawing from the modal and post-bop traditions while staying rooted in the present. A debut on Blue Note carries real weight, and Woody arrives with a full vision already intact.
2025 release. 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), and Vittorio Stropoli (aux synth) - Woody extends an invitation into communion through six captivating original compositions.
