Events Description
Trumpeter Theo Croker and tap dancer Travis Knights ignite Jazz is Dead, a high-energy fusion of jazz, hip-hop, and R&B. This world premiere redefines the genre with electrifying performances, where rhythm, movement, and improvisation collide in an exhilarating celebration of music.
What happens when a Grammy-nominated jazz artist and a tap dance powerhouse unite for an electrifying exchange on the “death” of jazz?
Trumpeter Theo Croker and tap dancer Travis Knights take musical performance to the next level in this dynamic union of sound and movement. Fusing jazz, hip-hop, R&B, and live improvisation, this show brings a fresh edge to the timeless art form of jazz—bold, electric, and completely unpredictable.
Croker lays down deep, groove-heavy trumpet lines while Knights lights up the floor with pulsing, kinetic rhythms to build a live sonic experience unlike any other jazz concert.
A world premiere, conceived by Timea Wharton-Suri and co-commissioned by dance Immersion and Luminato Festival, Jazz is Dead isn’t a tribute—it’s a rebirth.
If you think you know jazz, this show will change your mind.
