Catch avant-garde trumpeter and composer Jaimie Branch and band on the heels of Fly or Die II: Bird Dogs of Paradise, recently featured among the top 10 records of NPR’s 2019 Jazz Critics Poll.
A fitting reflection of our collective struggle to cope with today’s confusing political landscape, Fly or Die II evokes a complex spectrum of feeling, ranging from fiery, righteous anger to grooving, buoyant playfulness. Building on the success of the critically acclaimed Fly or Die (2017) and featuring many of the same musicians, the new record sees Branch experimenting with vocal expression for the first time. As she states in its liner notes, "so much beauty lies in the abstract of instrumental music, but being this ain’t a particularly beautiful time, I’ve chosen a more literal path. The voice is good for that."
