Fly or Die Fly or Die Fly or Die - Jaimie Branch (2023)

Branch died tragically young last year at age 39, but she leaves behind enough work to make us realize what could have been. Her Fly Or Die ensemble was putting finishing touches on this third record at the time of her death, and it’s just recently been released.

Excellent stuff that really points the way forward for jazz in an age where everything goes.

Tracks I Liked

Borealis Dancing - seriously cooking

Baba Louie - Kind of a loose latin feel

Take Over The World - a fierce treated vocal and a tight groove
