| Performance Notes | The Michele Drees Jazz Tap Project is a spectacular mix of rhythm, tap dance and jazz. This project works towards helping the revival of the iconic jazz tap that originated in Harlem, and then became popularised on Hollywoods silver screen.
London-based Michele Drees is an established drummer, Latin percussionist, vocalist, guitarist and composer. She has been active on the music scene for over 30 years, and during this time she has played with artists including Marc Almond, Kirsty MacColl, Ive Mendes, KD Lang, Badmarsh and Shri and Susanne Vega to name a few.
Michele will be joined on stage by Scott Cripps, one the UKs foremost tappers and Lisa LaTouche, a New York-based tap dancer and choreographer recently seen in Shuffle Along on Broadway and Savion Glovers Stepz.
This concert is sponsored by SlimWinter, and dedicated to the great Bob Armstrong, Micheles drum teacher. |
