Jaimie Branch returns to London for EFG London Jazz Festival 2021 fresh off the back of her latest Fly or Die Live album on esteemed Chicago jazz label International Anthem.

The album was recorded by the trumpeter’s quartet in Zurich, Switzerland, last year – bearing the weight of both that specific pocket of time and acting as a prophecy for all that was soon to come. It’s a singular epic of raw cosmic brilliance we can’t wait to hear on stage.

Following the release of her debut album Fly Or Die in 2017 – hailed as an album of the year by The New York Times, NPR, The Wire, and Stereogum – Jaimie embarked on an epic European tour in 2018 which culminated in her debut London performances at a sold out two-day residency in Café Oto as part of EFG London Jazz Festival.

In 2019, Branch presented her record Fly or Die II: bird dogs of paradise with a unique show in Church of Sound. Now with her third release, it’s a delight for us to welcome this forward-thinking talent to Camden for her biggest London show yet.
