jaimie branch
Fly or Die Fly or Die Fly or Die
((world war))

LP, CD, Digital album
released August 25th, 2023


โ€œIn the wake of her passing, those Fly or Die albums now represent Branchโ€™s biggest legacy โ€” and something of a challenge to the rest of the jazz world. Who else is here to sing their soul, in her absence? Who are the real ones that remain? Who else wants to fly?โ€ - New York Times

"...a robust, hardcore avalanche of percussion and heartfelt trumpet." - KCRW

โ€œLike previous Fly or Die albums, ((world war)) often has the feeling of a raucous block party. As its master of ceremonies, branch never lets us forget that there is not just escape to be found in coming together and letting loose, but solidarity, too.โ€ - Pitchfork

Thandi Ntuli with Carlos Niรฑo
Rainbow Revisited

released November 17th, 2023

"A brave, stand-alone release that lays her talent bare, itโ€™s a beautifully unreal entrancement youโ€™ll find hard to stop listening to again and again." - MOJO

โ€œIt is a masterclass in the eloquent potential of the solo, a quiet storm of expression at Ntuliโ€™s new frontier of South African jazz." - The Guardian
