Jaimie Branch: Fly or Die Fly or Die Fly or Die (World War)

Playing trumpet, keyboards, percussion and adding voice, Jaimie Branch joins with Lester St.Louis/cel-voc-fl-key-mar, Jason Ajemian/b-voc-mar, Chad Taylor/dr-perc and various guests on a wide ranging collection of folkish jazz. The churchy keyboards and tympani sound orchestra as things open up, with a gypsy feel with violin eventually taking over before some Dyalnesque vocals team with a scratchy bowed bass.  Marimbas and violins gallop before a military pulse digs into a street-fest and closing into a loose scratchy collection of ideas. What’s the intended audience, again?
