Gil Scott-Heron Bluesology delves deep into Scott-Heron\\'s artistic genius, highlighting his innovative fusion of jazz, blues, and spoken word. Gil Scott-Heron Bluesology shares the life and music of the man Melody Maker called \\"The Most Dangerous Musician Alive\\" and many dubbed the forefather of rap music.

Created by Tuesday Conner and Directed by Phylliss Bailey Brooks, Gil Scott-Heron Bluesology is an extraordinary theatrical experience with a fierce band of spoken word artists and musicians spittin’ fire and blazin’ stages with the legends daughter, Gia Scott-Heron and Special Guests Artists Father Amde Hamilton of The Watts Prophets with Victor Orlando of The Gap Band on percussion.

Gil Scott-Heron (1949 – 2011) was a civil rights activist, musician and author known throughout the world for his work. His gift of taking the daily news and turning it into social satire filled with truth, and attaching rhythms that were in themselves thought-provoking was part of his genius.

Gil professed to be a \\"BLUESOLOGIST\\" because his music was jazz and blues and his spoken word reflects the turbulence and uncertainty of our times with a satirical edge told in the tradition of oral poetry and storytelling. Gil Scott-Heron was inducted posthumously into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a recipient of the Early Influence Award. Gil Scott-Heron Bluesology encompasses his creativity from 1970 to 2010.

Woven between the timeless words of Gil Scott-Heron, these electrifying poets, Tuesday Conner, Yawo Watts, The Oracle, Lorenzo Frank, Artus Mansoir, Conney Williams and Gia Scott-Heron weave their own personal poetic journeys into the story and ignite a rip roaring fire.

You\\'ll hear his words again, you\\'ll cry and you\\'ll laugh and your heart light will glow, you\\'ll fight back some tears, you\\'ll sing, you\\'ll know lyrics you haven\\'t heard in a long while and you\\'ll learn about the man...the icon, the legend, Gil Scott-Heron.

The evening starts like a festive party with noise shakers passed out to the audience. This communal activity, shaking when showing appreciation for what is seen and heard, brings the audience together in a way that clapping doesn’t.

The evening then progresses like a roller-coaster bringing you up and down on a historical journey of lived truth that touches us where we live. The energy of the audience is something akin to a revival meeting! The timeless relevance of the production is not just a retrospective but a call to action. It’s a touching evening that reminds us where we’ve come from and where we need to go. An Inner City Cultural Center II Production.
