Re: Art Tatum
[ QUOTE ]
This is hovering around the same point that I was trying to make earlier. You are exactly correct, there is no techinical level of playing higher than Tatum

Hum what about cecil taylor or in a more straightforward style jean michel pilc?
The piano playing techniques have evolved i don't think you can consider tatum to be at the top anymore, of course if you are talking about "his style" of ultra technical stride he is the best but all the greats are the best in their own styles.
