Savion Glover w/ Marcus Gilmore

Dance of the Drum Series: The greatest living tap dancer meets two generations of drumming artistry.

"To see Mr. Glover dance is to see a virtuosic and authentic artist at work. " — The New York Times

A supreme meeting of rhythm masters in this inspired duet. The Tony Award-winning Savion Glover, an artist called “the greatest tap virtuoso of our time, perhaps of all time” (Variety), joins forces drummer Marcus Gilmore, an heir to jazz royalty as the grandson of iconic drummer Roy Haynes and a dynamic musician known widely for his work with Vijay Iyer, Chick Corea, Nicholas Payton, Steve Coleman, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, and Ravi Coltrane. Gilmore’s ongoing work as part of Iyer’s incisive and award-laden trio, which blends slippery rhythmic sophistication with virtuoso contrasts in dynamics and texture, is the ultimate preparation to work with Glover, where rhythm and melody converge.
