The "trio improv'iste" is a jazz trio that explores the rhythmic possibilities of tap dancing as a percussion instrument in jazz. It works in a polymorphic way with different instruments (double bass, piano, saxophone, guitar, vocal, clarinet, vibraphone, 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 project has never ceased to enrich itself with all kinds of musical traditions. It has toured in Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Mexico and Guatemala. In the most significant recent events, it has received a special research grant from the Fondation Parallèle (2021) and played at à Chorus (2022), at the Guatemala Jazz Festival (2023), at the Sunset-Sunside in Paris (2023), at the Marigliano in Jazz Festival (2023), at the Festival de Musique Improvisée de Lausanne (2023) and at the Generations Jazz Festival (2023). duration: 1h or 2 sets of 45min
