I came across this CD I forgot I had. Live on the radio in Chicago, 2008. Jaimie Branch on trumpet and me on alto sax. I don't think the music is much worth sharing, but it's nice to hear Jaimie, especially in a really focused, free, and minimal context. Not a direction she focused on as much in her later years. I was pretty nervous that night, and a timid, underconfident player generally in those days. Jaimie was inventive, tight, brilliant as always. I also played a solo set, and used some of the material for a mini-CDr release. Found a copy of that, too. Rest in peace, Jaimie.
Jaimie Branch was an avant-garde jazz artist whose passionate, wildly creative music crossed genres, bridged gaps, and explored new paths before she left us with a short but brilliant catalog in 2022.

Jaimie "Breezy" Branch was an innovative trumpeter, composer and bandleader whose music often crossed conventional genre boundaries. She was inspired by avant-garde jazz as much as other contemporary styles of music that influenced her. Her energetic approach, solid sense of melody, and DIY esthetic were all part of what made her a unique voice in music, along with the punkish attitude with which she expressed her politics in her work. Her creativity came through both in her compositions and in her free-flowing, unrestrained, but crisp arrangements. She was accompanied by her group Fly or Die in her albums, whose final line up comprised cellist/flutist/pianist Lester St. Louis, bassist Jason Ajemian, and drummer Chad Taylor. She died on August 22nd, 2022, at the age of 39.
