Jazz

James Demeny uses his tap shoes to play music, rather than to dance. James fills the role of the dummer in his ensembles, creating an intimate sonic environment that makes you lean forward, watch, and listen. With a background in many kinds of musics, James programs selections from across the canons of jazz, video game tunes, and musical theatre. Experience a totally new kind of percussion and music that doubles as one of the most visually exciting American art forms ever created.
