6 dislikes? Methinks Art Tatum will rise up from his grave and strike you down with lightning bolts of doom.

@ALTERED13TH Haha, well did you listen to his recording of "Exactly Like You?" He uses all the bop-type block close chords when he comps (any of the ones I would use), polyrhythmic groupings, half-step approaches, and spends half his second solo playing over the most ridiculous substitutions that make his lines so far out of the key, I don't know that anyone knows what the hell he's doing. His trio playing is literally old and modern at the same time. That's what I mean by my statement.
Genius! What a gift of music!!!!

A great book for stealing Art's licks is "The right hand according to Tatum", Riccardo Scivales, ekay music inc,,,,,After I got married, my wife quit her job, helping me combine sex with happy hour piano playing,,, even jewelry wouldn't help,
