Broadway's renaissance man, vocalist Trent Armand Kendall's latest CD, backed by the horn-powered, 10-member Brass ILLUSION orchestra, is now released!

Trent Armand Kendall + Brass ILLUSION (Onemoe Music) is available at all major online outlets, including iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon, and Spotify.

This CD is a culmination and tribute of sorts to Kendall's "blood, sweat and tears," and exciting collaboration with Brass ILLUSION in 2016. The songs, recorded in a live party atmosphere at New York City's The Cutting Room, are a retrospective full of swagger, swinging Jazz, gritty Blues, soulful R&B, contemporary Pop and playful Broadway hits with new, inventive arrangements.

Titles include Hold On I'm Coming, Superstar / Love The One You're With, When Love Comes To Town, Is You Is / Love Me or Leave Me, I Hope You Dance, a soul stirring rendition of A Change Is Gonna Come and Brass ILLUSION's sizzling take on The Approaching Storm.

Waits, City World Radio), his international headliner act This CRAZY Love (Don Casino Productions), US tour dates of LOUIS-AND-ELLA! by Trent Armand Kendall starring Kendall as Louis Armstrong and Broadway's NaTasha Yvette Williams as Ella Fitzgerald, directed by Jeff Whiting.
