By Mildred Ruiz and Steven Sapp

New York Theatre Workshop

Eyewitness Blues is the spirited story of Junior, a hard-luck horn player, and the creative life of artists everywhere. As Junior (played by Steven Sapp) takes a breath, summoning the physical and psychic energy to play his horn, his Muse (played by Mildred Ruiz) appears, and his life unfolds in a series of provocative vignettes told through a stirring mix of jazz, flamenco, blues, and poetry. Mildred Ruiz and Steven Sapp, two of the collaborators from UNIVERSES, the group behind NYTW's 2001 production of Slanguage, have joined forces with arrangers/composers Carlos Pimentel, Paul Thompson and Antoine Drye (Thompson and Drye provide live musical accompaniment) to create an affecting portrait of artists and the vibrant culture, traditions, and personal experience they bring to their work.
