Kind of Blue (2001)

Choreography by David Parsons
Lighting Design by Burke J. Wilmore
Music by Miles Davis* – “So What”
Costume Design by Mia McSwain

Kind of Blue was commissioned by the Umbria Jazz Festival in Perugia, Italy where it premiered in July 2001. A tribute to the 75th anniversary of the birth of jazz great Miles Davis, this sultry and sophisticated quartet features music from Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue," the best selling jazz album of all time.

KIND OF BLUE is a flirtatious and alluring quartet commissioned and presented at the Umbria Jazz Festival. The quartet casually turns, twists and struts through pools of light with a confident, competitive air. The dancers vie for time in the spotlight with a deliberately nonchalant “anything you can do, I can do better” attitude about their dancing.
