Thomas Moon Trio LIVE at 2nd Floor Gastown
Thomas is a vocalist–percussionist. Before the drum, we had our feet for rhythm. Music made with the body. Tap dance grew with jazz through all its iterations and, as the story goes (told by Gillespie/Papa Jo Jones), was a driving force in the evolution of the art form. In difficult times it was cohesive and artistically expansive. There are many ways to sing the blues. Thomas draws on these traditions in his work as a jazz band leader and performing artist. Early years in Australia were greatly influenced by teacher Grant Swift and his playing live with local Melbourne jazz music greats. From 2010 until the present he has toured extensively throughout Europe, Russia and Asia; studied music and traditional dance in Guinea; led various jazz groups; was a principal member of the (then) only full-time tap dance company in the world "Tapestry Dance"; received a Fine Arts scholarship at Monash University; lived primarily out of a suitcase; taught dance to children in countryside Hokkaido over several spring/summer seasons; married; is still moving. Events/venues include: Falls Music and Arts Festival; Moscow Tsaritsyno Palace; Quebec DANSEncore; Shanghai Int. Arts Festival; Melbourne's Hamer Hall; Woodford Folk Fest; the Shanghai mansion Bangkok; Apollo Bay Music Festival; Iðnó (Reykjavik); Performing tours of China and Switzerland.
