The "improv'ist trio" is a jazz trio that explores the rhythmic possibilities of tap dancing as a percussion instrument in jazz. It revolves around a core of double bass and tap dance and works in a polymorphic way with different melodic or harmonic instruments (piano, saxophone, guitar, vocals, clarinet, etc ...). The tap dancer takes the role of the drummer. Music becomes dance, dance becomes music. Since their first appearance in 2006 at the Cully Jazz Festival, this trio has never ceased to explore and enrich itself with all kinds of musical traditions. It has toured in Switzerland, France, Canada, Mexico and Guatemala. In 2021, this project has received special grant from the Fondaition parallèle to carry out a project called "Covid virtual residencies", which consisted in the exploration of new musical paths in collaboration with foreign musicians by video. This trio features on the jazz é-tap CD. duration: 1h or 2 sets of 45min
