Belle Époque Magique: Trio Improv'iste

The Trio Improv'iste is a jazz trio that explores the rhythmic possibilities of tap dancing as a percussion instrument in jazz. In this unique formation, the tap dancer takes on the role of the drummer: music becomes dance, and dance becomes music.

Since its debut at the Cully Jazz Festival in 2006, the project has continued to evolve, enriching itself with various musical traditions. It has performed in Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Mexico and Guatemala. Recent highlights include a research grant from the Fondation Parallèle (2021) and concerts at Chorus (2022, 2024), the Guatemala Jazz Festival, Sunset-Sunside (Paris), Marigliano in Jazz (Naples), the Lausanne Improvised Music Festival and the Generations Jazz Festival (2023).
