Savion Glover

Savion Glover makes it clear that he thinks of tap dancing as as form of percussion music rather than as a form of dance. I've heard that at one show, he had the lights turned off--the point is to hear, not to watch.
He played at the Sandler Center with another "hoofer" and a flamenco guitarist, a flamenco vocalist, a jazz trumpeter, and a bass player. It was about an hour and three quarters of jazz, with the lead not being guitar or sax or piano, but percussion. Here's a clip from the same show in Philly a few days before we saw him. It would have been pretty repetitive after a while, except for two things. One, we were three rows back from the orchestra pit, so we could see his feet--and it was unbelievable how fast he is. And two was just how happy he was. Sometimes he was concentrating, but most of the time he was just floating there, clearly having a wonderful time, loving what he was doing.
