LIVE was mostly recorded on November 1st, 2019, at Haus der Berliner Festspiele in Berlin, Germany, during the 2019 edition of JazzFest Berlin. For Angel Bat Dawid and her band Tha Brothahood – which includes Deacon Otis Cooke, Viktor Le Givens, Xristian Espinoza, Norman W. Long, Dr. Adam Zanolini, and Asher Simiso Gamedze – it was the first stop of their first European tour.
Forty-eight hours before the show, Angel and members of the band were on their way to the airport in Chicago when they received news that Viktor Le Givens had passed out on the street and subsequently woke up in a hospital with all his personal belongings missing. When they arrived in Berlin, the band’s manager Najee-Zaid Searcy reached out to the production staff of JazzFest Berlin to inform them of the situation. Their initial reply: “if you cannot find a substitute, we will have to reduce your fee.”
Of the cold, insensitive response to Viktor’s unfortunate situation, Angel recalls: “It really put a whole damper on my spirit to have to deal with this a few hours before performing. How the fuck is this response ever acceptable anywhere?!”

Clarinettiste, compositrice, chanteuse et virtuose du jazz spirituel, Angel Bat Dawid présente ce puissant enregistrement live aux côtés de son groupe, Tha Brothahood. LIVE a été enregistré en grande partie le 1er novembre 2019 à la Haus der Berliner Festspiele à Berlin, lors de l’édition 2019 du JazzFest Berlin.
Pour Angel Bat Dawid et Tha Brothahood – qui comprend Deacon Otis Cooke (voix, synthé), Viktor Le Givens (voix, instruments auxiliaires), Xristian Espinoza (sax ténor, percussions), Norman W.Long (électronique, synthés), Dr Adam Zanolini (contrebasse, guitare basse, sax soprano, flûte, percussions), Isaiah Collier (batterie) et Asher Gamedze (batterie) – c’était la première date de leur première tournée européenne.
Angel et son groupe ont vécu un certain nombre d’interactions difficiles et racistes pendant leurs deux jours à Berlin. Mais malgré cela, ou peut-être à la lumière des difficultés auxquelles ils ont été confrontés, ils ont joué un set au Berliner Festspiele qu’Angel considère comme l’un de leurs meilleurs. « Le spectacle était très profond et m’a vraiment aidé à gérer toute la rage et les choses inconfortables que je ressentais… Cela m’a fait penser à tous les artistes du passé qui ont enduré beaucoup plus que je ne le ferai jamais avec cette industrie musicale. C’était un spectacle très libérateur et magnifique ».
