delta dandi is a multi-disciplinary theatre piece that charts the life of a Black blues/Conjure woman musician traveling with a jazz band in the 1940’s at the height of the birth of modern jazz. delta dandi’s (fictional) life documents black American history through a theatrical re-incarnation of the tradition of “Sacred Concerts” and “Tone Poems” which jazz icons Duke Ellington and Mary Lou Williams innovated in the 1960’s.
