From the original program: "Generous underwriting for this new production has been provided by Valerie and Charles Dyker, Nanette Laitman, Sydney and Frances Lewis, Patricia and Jeff Tarr, Cathy and Stephen Weinroth."
Tharp commissioned jazz musician and composer Wynton Marsalis to create a new score for Jump Start. Marsalis and his band played live during the premiere season at the Metropolitan Opera House. The dancers approach this high-octane dance with a spirited attack. Running crosses interrupt athletic solos and unison phrases, generating an excited, jovial energy onstage.
