Reviews ~~~~~~~ By Tim Niland https://jazzandblues..com/2021/05/jamie-branch-fly-or-die-live.html Trumpeter and vocalist Jamie Branch is as brash and focused as ever on this live album recorded in Switzerland in January of 2020, willing to speak truth to power about corrupt politicians and social vampires alike in song while playing blazing lines of brass. The music stretches out ambitiously, as she engages with her colleagues, Lester St. Louis on cello, vocals and tiny cymbal, Jason Ajemian on bass, vocals and egg shakers and Chad Taylor on drums, vocals and mbira. The epic "Prayer for Amerikkka pt. 1 & 2" is Mingus-like in its scope, using spoken word and singing, lights out trumpet soloing and graceful collective improvisation to paint a picture in words and music of the state of the United States, a snapshot of a divided and fractured nation just before the pandemic laid everything to waste. The band is very tight, after a long time touring and recording together, they can follow any lead, shift gears at the slightest signal. Because of her outspoken nature, people may forget the protean power of Branch's trumpet playing, but you can't miss it here, as the band moves from way out free improvisation to in the pocket groove. She gets the band and even the reluctant crowd to sing along with the finale, "Love Song" punctuated by some powerful trumpet and spoken asides, that even leaves some audience members singing the refrain as they exit the concert. Branch is a self-assertive and take no prisoners kind of musician, she reminds me of another International Anthem labelmate, Angel Bat Dawid, whose singular refusal to back down in the face of roadblocks has hade her into a similarly singular musician. Jamie Branch and her band lay it all on the line on this concert and it is a brave and powerful performance, trusting in themselves and the nature of their music to carry them through. -- By Martin Schray https://www.freejazzblog.org/2021/09/jaimie-branch-fly-or-die-live.html By Imran Mirza https://ukvibe.org/album_reviews/jaimie-branch-2/ By Kevin Whitlock https://www.jazzwise.com/review/jaimie-branch-fly-or-die-live By Simon Adams https://jazzjournal.co.uk/2021/08/22/jaimie-branch-fly-or-die-live/ Guy Peters (be) https://www.enola.be/2021/06/25/jaimie-branch-fly-or-die-live/ Dick Hovenga (nl) https://writteninmusic.com/albumrecensie/jaimie-branch-fly-or-die-live/
