Abstract
Inspired by the poems of Langston Hughes "The Weary Blues", Technicolor Blues is a new age musical that tributes the 100 year anniversary of The Harlem Renaissance and its legacy of black excellence. The story follows Blue, a young man full of soul fire searching for his purpose who embarks on an inner voyage of he was, is and who he's becoming. Guided by three quirky muses, Melody, Harmony and Cadence - this tale is all about musical relativity. Using a symphonic fusion score merging blues, jazz, gospel, r&b and hip hop, this musical invited listeners into a vivid world of art, language and legacy. You can only make the blues if you live it.
