New York’s hottest jazz musicians and tap dancers will bring a 1920s Harlem rent party to The Other Palace Studio from 4 – 15 April 2017. This Joint is Jumpin’ will be a fusion of live jazz, tap dancing and storytelling celebrating and radically interpreting jazz icon Fats Waller’s music, breathing new life into classics such as Ain’t Misbehavin’, Black and Blue and Honeysuckle Rose. This Joint is Jumpin’ is produced by Hoagy B. Carmichael, son of the legendary American composer Hoagy Carmichael.
