SFJAZZ Love this! SAVION GLOVER teaching Mr. Snuffleupagus some moves back in the early '90s. The undisputed "world's greatest tap dancer" plays two shows on Saturday night at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre. (Full disclosure: I don't think Snuffy is in the band currently. Then again, isn't he imaginary anyway?)

SFJAZZ Not to be outdone, SF Weekly also recommends SAVION GLOVER's show on Saturday as one of the best of the week, calling him a "superbeing" and hoping that he "continues to use his powers for good and not for evil."

Dancers aren’t known for their smarts. Don’t shoot the messenger, it’s just a reality. Besides, who needs to be all brainy when you know how to move?

SFJAZZ This is priceless! A recent interview with our Exec Director RANDALL KLINE was translated into a foreign language - and then translated BACK to English. The result? Apparently the new name for our Festival is the "SAN FRANCISCO NOTHINGNESS FESTIVAL." Oh, the ennui! Sartre would be proud.
