Tap and jazz share the same rhythmic roots. This residency is bringing them back together.

Boston-based tap dancer and composer Ian Berg is a recipient of a 2026 Jazz Road Creative Residency grant. Over three retreats in Vermont and Massachusetts, he and his ensemble, Subject:Matter, are exploring new tap textures and recording a full album built to bridge the tap and jazz communities.

The project carries lessons from mentors Danilo Perez, John Patitucci, and Joe Lovano, and it’s driven by a simple hope: that tap dancers and jazz musicians can share the bandstand again, the way they did at the start of jazz. @subjectmattertap @ianberg67 

This is what a Creative Residency grant makes possible: time, space, and trust for an artist to follow a new sound wherever it leads.

Follow along as the project unfolds, and visit JazzRoad.org to learn more about Jazz Road Creative Residency grants and Jazz Road Tour Grants, supporting mid-career jazz artists nationwide.

🎶 Jazz Road is a program of @SouthArtsOrg funded by @DorisDukeFdn with support from the @MellonFoundation Creative Content by @StoneHouseCreativeStudio
