He's a percussionist, period. Many dancers are NOT impressed at all by this "jammin" style. It's a very limited niche. Even Fayard Nicholas lamented the fact that Glover just hangs over the ground. Like he's got "anger issues with the floor."
Give me Eddie Brown, Sandman Sims, Buck & Bubbles and the rest any day.
One thing about history, you only get better by observing from your predecessors. To me this is not that someone is better than the other, merely that they took from them the roots of what their doing & perfected their own style. It's like saying the student is better than they Masters. Love Savion, my brother!
I was lucky enough to catch this show when he came to my home town.....it was absolutely the.best.show.i have EVER seen. He is so humble....so talented...so onpoint....and somehow the people next to me fell asleep and snored through the whole thing. I would love to see him again......thanks for putting this up...now I will have a peice of it with me forever. Heres to Savion
Yo...on the real...Savion, no one could take an AIRPLANE to your level. That's the holy spirit right there we're all seeing. That is God in Savion Glover right there...Yesss God is in all of us people. This is definetly one of the best...DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF HE'S COMING TO TORONTO CANADA?!
AMEN! Watching the man hoof is like seeing God, up close and in person. He makes it look so effortless....like any one of us could get up and do it...and then u remember that u have trouble placing one foot in front of the other from time to time.
Savion is on another level , he has the love, the passion, the history of the old time great tap dancers, and he ministers from his spirtit and it gets no better than that. Please dont post comments talking about another tap dancer will blow him off, its not going to happen. Thats like saying , someone basketball player coming up is going to blow Michael Jordan out the waters. Aint going to happen, these men made history.
"Thats like saying , someone basketball player coming up is going to blow Michael Jordan out the waters." Savion is the Michael Jordan of tap, right. Hines was "only" the Dr. J of tap. Seriously. (And I love Dr. J.)
so I loved the show, and maybe it was just my program, but did anyone else's program from his shows elsewhere have the names of the musicians in it. I was very irritated that their names were not in the program and were only mentioned when Savion introduced them
No....we didnt get the names of the musicians either. But the duels were incredible when he introduced them...and while I may not remember their names...I will always remember them.
everytime I try and see Savion somthing happens and I can't, on my word, next time he comes around come hell or highwater I'm going to see his whole show
I love Savion Glover, but I honestly think Jumanne Taylor is gonna blow him off the stage one day. ;) I really think that Jumanne's taking it to the next level.
my friend , Jumaane Taylor is nice, but Savion is in another place when he dancing. It's spiritual and it doesnt getter any better tnan wnen one is performing from the spirit.
He IS the man. I'd like to work with him on something so I don't want to piss him off somehow. I will try to post soon, perhaps with a brief interview.
that sudden ending is incredible.
