Event
"In the Moment" Jazz Tap and Song
Jazz vocalist, Greta Matassa, and Tap dancer, Jovon Miller, first came together a few years back to play and dance for a friend in the Bellingham area. The concert was so much fun, the energy so alive and the audience so delighted that they have decided to bring the show to Century Ballroom, one of area's finest nostalgic old ballrooms.
Performing in a truly Jazz setting, there is no script, no choreography! Just Greta's fabulous singing of selected Jazz classics, her marvelous trio backing and Jovon tapping as a fifth instrument in the group!
