Let's see...Art Tatum on piano...image of Louise Brooks...maybe not of the same era, but did I just die and go to heaven?

Most piano players know of Art Tatum, he was absolutely the very best.
Shame he lived such a short life.
Thank God for films and records.

this is an example of why no other jazz pianist in history has surpassed Tatum's skill and ability. Peterson tried, but couldn't quite do it. "Not that there's anything wrong with that" -- he was #2 (in my book) and was very close to Tatum's level.
