American avant-garde trumpeter Jaimie Branch was a forward-thinking performer with a style steeped in free jazz and modern creative improvisation. She began recording under her own name with 2017's acclaimed Fly or Die, but played with a bevy of ensembles, including Bullet Hell, Galactic Unity Ensemble, Keefe Jackson's Project Project, and New Fracture Quartet, as well as Spoon, TV on the Radio, and Belle Orchestre. Her sophomore album, Fly or Die II: Bird Dogs of Paradise, arrived in 2019. Tragically, Branch was only 39 when she died in 2022. Her final album, Fly or Die Fly or Die Fly or Die ((world war)), arrived posthumously the following year.
