Gil Scott-Heron Bluesology

I was thoroughly pleased and in awe at the level of talent cascading across the stage at Inner City Cultural Center II's Gil Scott-Heron Bluesology! From poem to poem, poet to poet, the blue clad crew of creatives delivered powerful performances of the legendary revolutionaries’ catalog. Seeing the legends's daughter Gia on stage made the production feel like a legacy piece as outstanding originals were snugly knit into the heavy Heron fabric of powerful pros. Gil Scott-Heron Bluesology was soooo cooool! Clint “Saint Ice” Johnson... full review
