During special Tap-A-Long performances, host Toes Tiranoff and his repertoire of featured dancers will be your guides through the best ragtime, stride, and jazz the Big Apple has to offer.
Find Tap-A-Long on the Upper Terrace at the base of the William Cullen Bryant Statue behind the New York Public Library. Join us during more Piano in Bryant Park performances and live music at the same location during the week.
Piano in Bryant Park is proud to present a U.S.O. Tap-A-Long in honor of National Tap Dance Day, hosted by Toes Tiranoff with live music by Jon Weber. This patriotic performance will honor our troops with swinging tunes and tributes that are bound to make your toes tap!
About Jon Weber:
Jazz pianist Jon Weber has recorded and toured all over the world, winning numerous accolades for performance and composition, and scoring extensively for television since 1987. He's at once an exceptional musician as well as a gifted historian and storyteller, and, above all, a true piano polymath. Jon stepped in to host NPR's Piano Jazz radio program, the station's longest-running cultural program, following host Marian McPartland's retirement; The Wall Street Journal sung Jon’s praises: "Most frequently seen across New York as the accompanist to any singer lucky enough to hire him, Jon Weber is best known to the rest of the country as the worthy successor to the late Marian McPartland on the NPR staple Piano Jazz." As a host, Mr. Weber takes listeners through a century of history, making it crystal clear what Fats Waller, Teddy Wilson, Bud Powell, Nat King Cole, Erroll Garner, Dave Brubeck, Oscar Peterson and the other figures on jazz piano's Mount Rushmore. Jon lives in New York City.
