Let's go to the show! On Q Productions presents Miles & Coltrane: Blue (.)

Speed Street is over. And some folks think the week after Memorial Day is a blank page.



NOT!



Starting Wednesday, On Q Productions will host a limited run of Miles & Coltrane: Blue (.)






RLO, The Jazz Diva and Quentin Talley present Miles & Coltrane:
Blue(.), by Concrete Generation May 29 through June 2 at Duke Energy
Theater at Spirit Square located at 345 N College St in Uptown Charlotte
for a limited engagement.  This special performance will serve as a
fundraiser as the show returns to the Edinburgh International Fringe
Festival August 3 through 26 in Edinburgh, Scotland.  Donations will be
used to assist with associated production and travel costs.



Miles & Coltrane: Blue(.) captures the galvanizing energy of the
1950's, an element of time when American society was rapidly changing.
During this era, jazz was the soundtrack to a new social revolution. And
at the forefront of jazz music was trumpet blaring Miles Davis and
skillful saxophonist John Coltrane, who partnered to make a wondrous
residual slide in soundscapes that would unleash their names to be
forever known as jazz legends. For this production, award winning
artist, Concrete Generation and The Stephen Gordon Group articulate this
noteworthy shift in music history.



Miles & Coltrane: Blue(.)
"is a must-see show for jazz lovers and anyone who is curious about the
two giants," says Duffy Lewis of the Charleston City Paper, "...
a mesmerizing testament to the transcendence of Davis' and Coltrane's
music. Miles and Coltrane: Blue is like going to church - almost."






The show will run May 29, May 30 and May
31 at 8 p.m.; June 1 at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.; June 2 at 3 p.m. Tickets are
