The Jazz Dance Collective is an organisation that is making JAZZ HISTORY the foundation of its practice. Jazz was created by African Americans, emerging at a period to liberate the people from the pain and inequality of the New World. It was born out of oppression but gave great freedom to the wider African diaspora, working through pain and hardship using skill and joy. Jazz enriches and frees the soul.
The Improvisers’ Workshop is a Guildhall School group focusing on creative jazz improvisation, approaching the jazz ensemble as a malleable vehicle for contemporary composition. This performance will feature tap dancer Annette Walker. Walker’s invitation to feature in this concert is inspired by Geri Allen’s composition ‘The Dancer’, and a live performance with Allen’s trio and tap dancer Maurice Chestnut in 2009 (Geri Allen & Timeline Live).
