Earshot Jazz Double Feature: No Maps On My Taps and About Tap
As part of the Earshot Jazz Festival, the longstanding creative nonprofit will co-present this toe-tapping double feature of documentaries by NYC filmmaker George T. Nierenberg. No Maps On My Taps (1979) is widely regarded as having ushered in a tap dance renaissance; About Tap, released six years later, focuses on the stories of legendary tappers Sandman Sims, Chuck Green, and Bunny Briggs, and shares the significant role of tap dancing within Black cultural heritage.
