I've been listening to trumpeter Jamie Branch's FLY or DIE band's two albums fairly obsessively recently. The music is spunky, eclectic, and meaningful. And the band members are fabulous players: in addition to Branch, who's just great, a special shout-out to fab bassist Lester St. Louis. But what's best about it is that this a real band conception, with a unique band sound — the way rock bands are. You really should get to know them.
