The Enchanted Messenger is a live album by a fifteen-piece ensemble called the Tony Oxley Celebration Orchestra, led by English percussionist Tony Oxley, and with trumpeter Bill Dixon appearing as a featured artist.

The performance, which was preceded by two days of rehearsal, was also broadcast on Berlin radio and television.

Not an easy record to absorb in just one or two sittings, but one that repays careful and prolonged attention.

"[5] The Chicago Reader's Peter Margasak described the album as "a tour de force of large-scale improv.
