Description
Today, Angel Bat Dawid and Paul Holdengräber discuss the art of improvisation, and how it has defined her work as a composer, improviser, pianist and vocalist.
EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Angel Bat Dawid describes her background as a classically trained musician in contrast to her experience with jazz in her home city of Chicago. These improvised jam sessions opened Bat Dawid’s eyes to a new way of playing. This combination of musical skill inspired Bat Dawid to compose her work “Requiem for Jazz,” a 12 part Requiem Mass celebrating life, death and Jazz.
Bat Dawid discusses the importance of self care, and slowing down to experience life without anxiety. Bat Dawid describes her thoughts about music as a healing force, and includes stories about African American communities, and how cultures have used music to express suffering and joys, and to promote collective healing.
