On Q Productions Presents Miles & Coltrane: Blue (.)

May 17, 2012 - PRLog -- Charlotte (NC)—May 14, 2012— On Q Productions presents Miles & Coltrane: Blue(.), by Concrete Generation at Piccolo Spoleto Festival, May 27 through June 5 at the Footlight Players Theatre located at 20 Queen Street in Charleston, SC.

This work tells the story of two of the most influential and controversial figures in jazz: Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Featuring award winning poets, musicians, dancers, and actors; this show weaves together all artistic mediums, taking us on a journey through the artists' lives and the legacies they left behind. This production features the work of Concrete Generation, God City, and The Stephen Gordon Quintet.

Miles & Coltrane: Blue(.) is "an intriguing production which evoked the spirits of Miles and Coltrane's work while portraying them as wildly different characters,” says Euan Andrews of Edinburgh Guide. “Miles (is) the aloof scene-stealer, fiercely proud of his heritage, with Coltrane forever in search of his own inner salvation,” explains Andrews.  

Retta Blaney of NYC, Life upon the Sacred Stage says, "every year at this time I discover a little gem or two...This year it was MILES & COLTRANE: BLUE (.) by Concrete Generation."

The show will run May 27 at 6 p.m.; May 28 at 2 p.m.; May 28, June 4 and June 5 at 8 p.m. All tickets are $23.00, general admission available for purchase at www.piccolospoleto.org.
