Art Tatum - 1949 - Piano Starts Here (mp3/320)

Arthur Tatum Jr. (October 13, 1909 Γ?? November 5, 1956) was an American jazz pianist and virtuoso.



With an exuberant style that combined dazzling technique and sophisticated use of harmony, Art Tatum is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest jazz pianist of all time. Critic Scott Yanow wrote "Tatum's quick reflexes and boundless imagination kept his improvisations filled with fresh (and sometimes futuristic) ideas that put him way ahead of his contemporaries ... Art Tatum's recordings still have the ability to scare modern pianists." (Wikipedia)
