EPK
This jazz trio combines tap, wood, and sand dance with acoustic bass and voice, in exploration of jazz standards and original compositions. Tap That Bass experiments with the rhythmic interplay between dance, voice, and bass, as well as the textural and dynamic possibilities inherent within these forms.
Heather Cornell and Jim Donica both draw inspiration from the style of bassist Ray Brown; Heather worked with him, and Jim studied with him. Together they pay homage to his style and sound, with original compositions such as "Ray's Bag," and tunes such as "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."
