Angel Bat Dawid - A Modern Cosmic Apocalyptic Sonic Discourse for the Book of Enoch (2025) [Hi-Res]

Chicago’s pivotal clarinetist and neo-jazz mage takes up the Longform mantle again for its very final dispatch, with typically spirited freedom and expressive alacrity on a 43 minute work inspired by ancient, apocalyptic Jewish text and acutely tipped to apostles of Sun Ra, Don Cherry, Alice Coltrane, Current 93, John Zorn.

Angel Bat Dawid is a Black American Composer, Improviser, Clarinetist, Pianist, Vocalist, Educator and DJ. In 2019 she released her debut album The Oracle with Chicago label International Anthem Recording Co.. Recorded using only her cell phone in various locations, the album received wide-spread critical-acclaim with Pitchfork declaring it, “a vibrant, spiritual, free-jazz document of black life as it stands today”. As an educator, Angel teaches her Great Black Music course at Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center through Old Town School of Folk. She is clarinetist in Damon Locks’ Black Monument Ensemble, and she hosts a monthly music show on NTS Radio (via International Anthem).
