If this bass could only talk.....
I found this amazing clip of Gregory Hines & Stanley Clarke the other day on Youtube. These two numbers first appeared on Stanley Clarke's CD "If this bass could only talk" and I was always fascinated by their musicality and interaction.
In my show tap&bass with my partner Kurt Holzkämper (www.bassmusik.de), we always performed these two songs in our version as a tribute to Gregory Hines & Stanley Clarke. Now it's great fun to actually see them perform it and not just listen to the CD.
In my opinion this is how tap dance should be done: highly musical, subtle in technique and captivating in it's artistic expression.
