Brandon Woody, a trumpeter/composer from Baltimore, makes his Blue Note debut! Woody began playing trumpet at the age of 7. He studied at the Manhattan School of Music with Ambrose Akinmusire (tp) and Stefon Harris (vibes), and since then has steadily built up his career, performing and writing music for films. His presence in the jazz scene is growing, as evidenced by the fact that he was featured in the New York Times last year.
