i think tap is a way of expression ... movements and sounds, a different language ( all jazz musicians including tap ) helps to express their feelings without beeing censored like in their daily life ... if John Bubbles enjoyed that stage we had to ask him ... perhaps his rhythms say something different ... their is so much we dont really know ...
I never realized that African-Americans got so much enjoyment out of serving white people. This really puts that period in a different perspective for me.
Buddy, this was a staged movie about dance. Most black people from that time period did NOT enjoy it, especially since getting harassed on the job was very common.
@@mrbusinesss1 I’ve done a lot of research on this topic over the past nine months and I do believe you are wrong. It was actually quite common for African-Americans to tap dance while performing their vocational duties. This was not limited to just the service industries, but was also common on farms, foundries, and in textile mills. It was also common for outdoor dinning establishments to be designed around the tab dancing needs of their employees who would often be so overcome with joy that they would burst out into scatting. This was also when coke bottles could produce the sounds of various horn instruments. In fact, most of the great jazz records actually feature coke bottle players and were just missattributed to clarinetists and soprano saxophonists due to the similar sound.
@@kalebmanning4425 This is called a coping mechanism. When you are stuck with no way out, you cope, otherwise you will die of depression. Singing and dancing didn't necessarily mean you are enjoying it, but that you're laughing at it, mocking it, forgetting it, and trying to enjoy life and keep your sanity nonetheless, to not let the other steal your will for life. I still see this around me in countries that use foreign and African labor (which, although paid, is still in many ways a form of slavery): people look and say that those people are apparently happy, they don't want anything more, they actually enjoy serving us, oh look, they are laughing, they are grateful. Well, they are trying to cope, day in and day out. If they are not crying in your face, it doesn't mean they don't feel your injustice and your racism and are not hurt by it daily.
Tjaaa, wenn Jan Böhmermann seine Show _nur_ 60 Jahre früher gehabt hätte 🥲😌

He once said 'we danced as we didn't care' I guess he just 'tapped out' of reality for a moment
I like him best in Cabin.
Thanks!
Yes

Is that a movie set?
This is strange...
