@BuckshotLaFunke1 No not a deficiency in you....different artists speak to us at different times in our lives based on our experiences and emotions. If Teddy speaks to your heart that way, then he is the greatest... for you. Nothing wrong with your taste. Some people like Hemingway some like Faulkner....both won the Nobel Prize for Literature. I love Hemingway and cant figure out Faulkner- go figure!
@BuckshotLaFunke1 Don't be too hard on yourself. Tatum is a lifelong acquired taste! Listen to the way he intersperses moving tenths and stride elements with his melodic excursions. His empathy with the drummer is thrilling! There are moments when instead of Tatum riding on top of Jo Jones' crisp strokes, the PIANO drives and carries the band (particularly, 2:15 thru 2:22 and 3:09 thru 3:15)! BTW, you and I share a love for the elegant and urbane Mr. Theodore Wilson.
Art Tatum (p), Red Callender (b), Jo Jones (d) - do u need something more??

His touch, his harmonies are out of this world. Still, Teddy Wilson speaks to me from behind the keys, Tatum does not. Most probably I am to blame.
