In July of 2022, just one month before jaimie branch’s death sent shockwaves around the world, the trumpet player
and composer was in Chicago at International Anthem (IARC) studios putting finishing touches on an album. It was a suite of music
she had composed and then recorded with her flagship ensemble, Fly or Die, over the course of a residency at the Bemis Center for
Contemporary Arts in Omaha, Nebraska. In her wake, the album was near complete, with only mixing tweaks, final titles, and artwork
to be fully realized. In the months following, her family (led by sister Kate Branch), her band (Jason Ajemian, Lester St. Louis, and
Chad Taylor), and her collaborators at IARC (engineers Dave Vettraino and David Allen, comrades Alejandro Ayala and Scott McNiece)
banded together to gather memories, texts, emails, photographs, artwork and fragments belonging to jaimie to light the path
forward. The goal was always to do what jaimie would have done. Packaged in stunning artwork by John Herndon, Damon Locks, and
branch herself, Fly or Die Fly or Die Fly or Die ((world war)) is jaimie’s final album with the quartet.
