«Davis began his own, "Of Blues & Dreams" with rhapsodic flourishes - he made the Steinway
grand sing like an angel - and, when Mitchell joined him, her velvety-toned melodic gestures
soared, swooped, growled and cooed. Davis composes like an improviser and improvises like a
composer. His signature piece had plenty of room to branch off into different moods and
textures giving Mitchell wide multiples from which to expand. Dynamics were explored in the
fullest sense - and when it got quiet - Mitchell responded with breathy overtones and tiny
whistle-stops. She even sang into the flute shooting skeins of moaning, yelping
multiphonics».

Co-Created by Nicole Mitchell & Lisa E. Harris the work of award-winning Black science
fiction author, Octavia E. Butler, becomes increasingly prophetic as we move through the
challenges of the new century. Her novels Parable of the Sower (1993) and Parable of the
Talents (1996) use fiction to illuminate a horrific unraveling of 21st-century America
into a despotic chaos. Inspired by this work, Mitchell and Harris respond to new times
