Blow the Fuse presents ‘Tomorrow the Moon’ 2020, featuring the Michele Drees Jazz Tap Project, back after a sold out gig last year.

Michele Drees Jazz Tap Project, MDJTP is a spectacular mix of rhythm tap dance with Jazz and Latin music. Taking its roots from the iconic ‘Jazz Tap’ that originated in Harlem, which then became popularised on Hollywood’s silver screen, MDJTP features some of the most talented tap dancers and musicians from across the UK and international rhythm tap scene.

“Fusing drumming with some pretty fancy footwork, drummer Michele Drees is at the forefront of a revolutionary new style of entertainment” Andy Hughes Drummer magazine

“Rhythm Tap and Drumming are the things that set my soul on fire…they are from the same family. Using Rhythm as my starting point, I incorporate tap as a percussion instrument in my compositions. This deep rooted connection between drums and tap is the area I am pushing and exploring through this project.” Michele Drees

We’re looking forward to an evening of incredible tap dance improvisations with Jazz and Brasilian music.

The really astounding Heather Cornell from New York City will be performing a lovely intimate Jazz gig at the wonderful Woodman pub in Highgate.

Called “the Oscar Peterson of hoofing” Heather was the sole tap dancer mentored by the infamous bassist, Ray Brown. 
Expect some beautiful interaction with the musicians.
A very special chance to see Heather spread her wings in London.

This is part of a whole weekend of activities with workshops and the 11th birthday London Tap Jam.
