"Bizet Has His Day (inside)" by the Revisionists + 22 Dancers

We’ve seen a few of these virtual performances where bands stitch together each instrument recorded remotely to create one song. This performance of “Bizet Has His Day” is one of the most slickly produced and visually interesting versions of this that we’ve encountered. Created by The Revisionists based in New York City, along with 22 of their dancer buddies, it’s really a treat to watch. The careful placement of each musician and dancer works really well to highlight specific parts of the music and movements. And each time I watch it, I notice some other cool detail.

Awesome job by the Revisionists led by Danny Jonokuchi, plus the 22 dancers who contributed!

Let’s keep making awesome art, folks!
