Jaimie Breezy Branch

In memory of beloved trumpet player, composer and community leader jaimie branch, friends and collaborators such as Jeff Parker, Chad Taylor, Joe Morris, Caroline Davis, Luke Stewart, Jason Nazary, Fay Victor, Tcheser Holmes, Janel Leppin, Amirtha Kidambi, Anthony Pirog, Angela Morris, Nathaniel Morgan, Aquiles Navarro, Kim Alpert, Piotr Orlov and music director Lester St. Louis come together for a night of music and healing.

An open jam session will conclude the evening, just as branch would have liked it.

“All the music that ever was and ever will be is here now. It exists in a cloud just above our heads and when we play, we pluck it out of the ether for a lil while before sending it back up.”

We are still humming from all the love. It was overwhelming and powerful to see and hear so many whose lives were touched, if not changed, by jaimie. Her family has asked that we postpone the Chicago event to give time for more healing. We look forward to more updates in the coming year about the foundation as we work with jaimie's family, collaborators, and closest friends to structure a legacy befitting her. Thank you all so much for sharing in this love with us. Stay tuned. Flock up and fly eternal.
