"Following in the hallowed footsteps of spiritual visionaries like Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders and the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Nicole Mitchell has carved out a clear, updated vision of her own, and Mandorla Awakening II: Emerging Worlds is a vibrant manifestation of her fears and hopes in this crazy world".

"Mitchell'swriting certainly nods at Ra here, especially his twinned flute works, but Mitchell's sphere also includes writers like Octavia Butler and Samuel Delany, and the work feels much more exploratory, creative and transcultural than jazz-derived".
