ABOUT THE SHOW
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.
The show depicts the personal and professional relationship between the two jazz legends, whose brilliant collaborations reshaped the boundaries of music and popular culture. This musical biography blends award winning actors, musicians, and poets to articulate this noteworthy shift in music history, taking you on a journey through the artists’ lives and the legacy they left behind.
