Re: Art Tatum
kenny werner said it best, something like, if you want to hear is technique at the piano, why would you ever listen to anyone other than art tatum?
there's also an old story that charlie parker got a job as a dishwasher at a club where tatum was working just so he could hear him play every night.
I love tatum, but can't listen to too much of his playing in a single stretch.
JaBlue, wtf? how can you not like piano in jazz? it's heresy! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
