McCoy Tyner & Savion Glover
by Coolhat on 5/3/12Howard Theatre - WashingtonThe chemistry between Tyner (and his trio) and Glover was awesome! Combining jazz and tap was a brilliant concept that met the challenge! The performers showed much appreciation for each others' talents. The musical selections were diverse so everyone experienced different jazz styes. I sat with a group of High School students who had just participated in a jazz performance. Their instructor made arangements for them to attend. As the evening progressed, they were totally absorbed. They knew of Mr. Tyner, but had never heard of (or seen) Mr. Glover. They were the first to give a standing ovation at the end of the show. The energy enveloped the room. Encore! Encore!
