Composer, clarinetist, singer & spiritual jazz soothsayer Angel Bat Dawid descended on Chicago's jazz &improvised music scene just a few years ago. In very short time, the potency, prowess, spirit & charisma ofher cosmic musical proselytizing has taken her from relatively unknown improviser to borderline ubiquitousperformer in Chicago's avant-garde. On any given night you can find Angel adding aura to ensembles led byBen LaMar Gay, or Damon Locks, or Jaimie Branch, or Matthew Lux, or even, on a Summer night in 2018,onstage doing a woodwind duo with Roscoe Mitchell. For her recorded debut on International Anthem, TheOracle, we've chosen to release a batch of tracks that Angel created entirely alone - performing,overdubbing & mixing all instruments & voices by her self - recorded using only her cell phone in variouslocations, from London UK to Cape Town RSA, but primarily from her residence in the attic of the historicRadcliffe Hunter mansion in Bronzeville, Southside, Chicago.1 Destination (Dr. Yusef Lateef)2 Black Family3 What Shall I Tell My Children Who Are Black (Dr. Margaret Burroughs)4 Impepho5 We Are Starzz6 London7 Capetown (feat.
