Rabshakeh Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 It sounds like it has been confirmed now. https://mobile.twitter.com/intlanthem/status/1562196045160845312?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet RIP. Very sad news given how young Branch was. One of my favourite artists in the International Anthem catalogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 First met her when she was working the counter at the Jazz Record Mart, along with Josh Berman and some others. Those were the days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjazzg Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) My God, this is so tragic. I'm completely shocked, what horrible, horrible news. Anteloper were due at Oto next week. Her personality shone through even on Twitter ffs. Such brightness, dimmed 'Fly Or Die' at Oto was one of the great evenings. I followed her music since a Tim Daisy album and have rated everything she has recorded. Edited August 24, 2022 by mjazzg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just yesterday added her Fly or die and she was definitely someone to watch for, for me. When I saw this I thought it can't be the same person. She was young. Then I decided let's see. So what Ghost said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going to an event in NY in 2006/7(?) at the Knitting Factory (I think) for one of his significant birthdays. Matthew Shipp played. I wish I remembered who else was on the set. I have tried looking a number of times but found nothing. Edited August 24, 2022 by Rabshakeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 I gotta check out her music. 39 is too young! Just two years younger than I. I know several people who knew her. Very sad passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin V Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 I was out of state in 2019 when she played a gig (or 2?) in the area and then the pandemic scuttled a planned gig in March 2020. The stars thus never aligned for me to see her. It's heartbreaking for such a well-regarded, young musician to pass away. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
