A communicative exchange between his turquoise tap shoes and the rhythmic sounds coming from the jazz quartet. Stamina. The improvisation and masteries as his feet took on the role of the percussion. Dilettantish. On Sunday evening Savion Glover tap danced on a sound amplified square in the center of the stage at the Hollywood Bowl. As the jazz quartet comprised of Tommy James, Dwayne "Cook" Broadnax, Patience Higgins and Andy McCloud iver" by Duke Ellington, Glover brought in the funk with his rhythmic reconnaissance. Bass drum. Through his choreography he became a composer and a musician. I watched with heartfelt awe as Glover translated the jazz music into tap dancing and translated the tap
dancing into jazz music. A true artist he is.
Among his list of accomplishments: Tony Award for his choreography in the Broadway smash hit Bring In 'Da Noise, Bring In 'Da Funk, recipient of the 1996 Drama Desk Award, the Outer Critics Circle Award (choreography), two Obie Awards, and two Fred Astaire Awards for his choreography and performance in Bring In 'Da Noise, Bring In 'Da Funk as well as the 1996 Dance Magazine Choreographer of the Year Award.
