By now, “Prayer” had gained a tough spoken-word intro, bringing the context as it slowly gearshifts the intensity: “It’s a song about America,” off-the-cuffs branch while the band seethes behind her, “but it’s about a whole lotta places — ‘cause it’s not just America where shit’s fucked up...” Then arrives the climax, at once site-specific and far-reaching: “...and it’s not always time to be neutral, do you know what I mean?” The gathered Swiss crowd knows, understands, and responds vocally, as Taylor’s backbeats cue branch to bring the trumpet to her lips, and let out a high-pitched wail. Her horn doesn’t know what’s about to happen to our world, and yet, somehow, it does — with only the catastrophic details needing to be worked out. “This is a warning, honey…” cries the song, and over the ensuing 70 minutes, the band echoes its sentiment, filled with glee and terror.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“I didn't have a memory of the show being an amazing show,” branch says. “But sometimes when you have zero memory of it being good or bad, those are the best shows. Because when you're in the zone, in those moments of channeling creativity, there isn't time for judgment. So oftentimes a memory is not created around that judgment, and that's actually a good indication.” When branch did pop the tape in, she was unequivocal: “I think this is like the best that we've ever played.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePRESS\/ONLINE:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVinyl Factory - https:\/\/thevinylfactory.com\/news\/trumpeter-jaimie-branch-releasing-live-album-vinyl\/\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e48 Hills - https:\/\/48hills.org\/2021\/06\/jazz-star-jaimie-branchs-fly-or-die-live-a-timely-reminder-of-resistance\/\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOTHER ACTIVITY: https:\/\/intlanthem.bandcamp.com\/\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"International Anthem Recording Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40596802699420,"sku":"IARC41LP","price":27.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_23f51ab6-ec00-4012-a863-f0b8df94cb7a.jpg?v=1628260237","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/jaimie-branch-fly-or-die-live-2lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
