]]> No publisher admin Jam session 2009-07-24T17:05:00Z Event "No Maps On My Taps" screening http://www.londontapjam.org/london-tap-events/no-maps-on-my-taps-screening-ft.-michele-dreess-rhythm-tap-quartet ft. Michele Drees's Rhythm Tap & Jazz Quartet As part of Black History month, The Bernie Grant Arts Centre will be screening No Maps On My Taps!

Junior Laniyan presents the rarely seen documentary No Maps On My Taps, which tells the story of tap as an expression of black heritage and culture. The story and spirit of tap in its heyday, shown in rare photographs and Hollywood film clips of the 1930s, provides a backdrop for intimate portraits of three veteran hoofers, Sandman Sims, Chuck Green and Bunny Briggs.

For all dance afficionados, No Maps on My Taps is an indispensable historical record of this distinctly American art form.

The screening will be followed by an exciting live tap performance featuring jazz music from The Michele Drees Trio, featuring Patrick Bettison (bass), John Crawford (piano) and Michele Drees (drums).

£8 / £6 concessions, 7pm
