Baby Laurence, Chuck Green, Nicholas Brothers

Just testing the waters here - run some names up the "flagpole" for a reaction.

Yes, it's tap dancing. Jazz tap.

Bunny Briggs, Honi Coles, Will Gaines.

This was one of my loves when I was young. It disappeared for my active field of view in 1978, when I gave up television, movies, video, etc.

Every once in a while, I get a reminder, when Jo Jones or Max Roach talks (in an interview) about the links between their craft and that of the dancer. Or I'll hear a bit of Laurence's Dancemaster on the radio. Anyone?

I saw The Copasetics, including Honi Coles and Chuck Green, about thirty years ago. One of the great musical memories of my life.

I remember seeing Baby Laurence film "Jazz Hoofer" 32-plus years ago. And, of course, the Nicholas Brothers in "Stormy Weather". My moment of joy was meeting the Nicholas Brothers at an Illinois Jacquet concert.
