The Music by Angel Bat Dawid
At the beginning of each New Year, we look for more interesting names and look at the programmes of winter festivals. Despite the postponement of this year's editions, the list of announced participants aroused our interest again. Among them shines the name of the Chicago diva with a unique voice and clarinet Angel Bat Dawid.
The star of the Chicago-born Angel Bath Dawid is rising relatively quickly, but is gaining momentum with incredible speed and is currently one of the brightest stars on the American scene. A unique combination of voice and clarinet, which complement each other and talk about everything around us. Despite her modest discography - her debut album The Oracle (International Anthem 2018) and the live recording LIVE, released for the same label in 2020 - Angel's music cannot be confused. It is pulsating, engaged, full of emotions and messages. And it is no coincidence that her fans find in her to be the reborn spirit of Sun Ra.
The world in Dawid's pieces is colorful and mixed in the most subtle way. Cultures, traditions, family memory, memories and dreams for the future, styles and worlds are intertwined in a pulsating sphere. So many gushing ideas, presented in an extremely masterful and innovative way, are coming out that she is recording some of the songs from her debut album on her mobile phone.
From Dawid's live performances, the listener can be convinced that the old saying that jazz is the new punk is still valid for free souls. And what one of the most emotional instruments is capable of - the clarinet, we will leave to each of us.
Today we listen to the music of Angel Bath Dawid in several live performances and songs from the albums that you will find on digital platforms. And we will continue to follow the career of the Chicago diva.
