SUMMARY:Brandon Woody’s Upendo (EARLY SHOW)
DESCRIPTION:Brandon Woody is a Baltimore-born\, Bach-endorsed trumpeter\, composer\, and bandleader whose music flows from the rich lineage of Black music\, including jazz\, gospel\, improvisation\, and beyond\, to explore themes of love\, resilience\, and community. Widely hailed as a rising force in contemporary jazz\, Woody signed with the legendary Blue Note Records in November 2024 and released his debut album\, For The Love Of It All\, in May 2025. Featuring his longtime band Upendo—Troy Long keys\, Quincy Phillips drums\, and Michael Saunders bass—the album showcases Woody’s ability to craft music that’s both deeply personal and universally resonant. \nRooted in Baltimore\, Woody has built his career from his hometown\, drawing on its vibrant creative culture and community spirit. His work has received praise across major publications\, with DownBeat highlighting his “rich and expressive” tone\, and the Financial Times noting the album’s emotional range “from gentle lyricism to swaggering virtuosity.” The Washington Post described Woody’s music as “staggeringly self-assured” and “radiating warmth\, purpose\, and a sense of place\,” reflecting both the clarity of his artistic vision and his deep connection to his community. \nWoody has collaborated with artists such as Terri Lyne Carrington\, BADBADNOTGOOD\, Danilo Pérez\, Casey Benjamin\, Marcus Gilmore\, the Robert Glasper Black Radio Orchestra\, Paul Russell\, Derrick Hodge\, Marc Cary\, and Solange Knowles. Dedicated to bridging generations through music\, Woody has led masterclasses and workshops at institutions across the country. Through both his performances and community work\, Brandon Woody uses music as a tool for healing\, connection\, and joy. \nThis venue is 19+.
