this should have stopped apartheid, prime example that black people are as gifted (in this case even more so) than us "whites" and that we're all the same the only difference being that is was primarely white people that managed to fuck this planet up in under a hundred years =/

This is a testament to the little gifts straight from heaven God creates by touching his children with just one finger...

@poetictube Art does not always play fast either. A good piano player does not always play fast because thats not what the piano is all about.You can play fast and still sound like crap.When art tatum played fast, it actually sounded like something.

PURE Genius!



A "true" story I heard on my national public radio jazz station,,,, Oscar Peterson, Art and a bunch of pianists were at a club, and they all got up to play, one at a time, Art followed Oscar, and Tatum played Little Man you ve had a busy day,,,, Everyone in the club got the joke, but it was supposed to be all in fun,,,, A great book to steal Art's licks is by Riccardo Scivales,,the right hand according to Tatum, Ekay Music inc,,,, and no, my name is not riccardo lol

If Tatum had been an electronics guy, he'd have invented the internt and the iphone back in 1950...in his lunch break.
