edge skill, winning praise both inside and outside of jazz circles. International Anthem, the Chicago-based

record label that distributed her music, made a statement about her passing. (The statement, which was

This spirit of gutsy intensity was one of the reasons she rose to become a cherished pillar of the creative

traits she alluded to with her preferred name, jaimie breezy branch (no caps). She was a rising talent
