I get so tired of hearing how modern jazz left the dancers behind. It's always painted as the music's fault. Nobody ever spins it around and says "Why were the dancers too lazy to keep up?"

Dammit, let's dance!

Ever see Savon Glover (sp?)? He dances to Bird and Coltrane.

I think it's "Savion". He used to pop up on Sesame Street back when my kids watched it.

Bird & Trane, eh? Sounds cool! Know of any footage?

Don't know of any footage. I saw him with a jazz combo which he led with his feet. Not just exchanging fours (though he did do that) but really pushing them. At one point I was sure that he he was beating out Bird's "My Little Suede Shoes" but the rest of the band didn't pick up on it.

He's returning to Santa Barbara this year but (unfortunately for me) dancing to classical music this time.

They still play the Sesame Street Stuff, but I could not find any clips on the Coltrane althoughJazz Times Article
