We already found God guys; Art Tatum is the Higgs Boson particle.

Wow this is nice and different it has a classical sound to it, more so than I've heard in any Tatum songs.

Tatum never ceases to amaze me. His playing, his imagination, his ideas are just incredible. That touch, the lack of pedal, his harmonic skill, just beautiful. I think the best word to describe his playing is.....WOW!

Art Tatum has the Art to make orgasm !

as fats once said to his audience, "ladies and gentleman, i play the piano, but tonight God is in the house." upon seeing mr tatum in the crowd.

@Hyperclefonical598 Ahem, uhhh, Phineas Newborn jr. end of story ... you might do well to add in Previn as well, of course.
Tatum is excellent, but I find his playing to be too excellent sometimes

Peterson would and did agree he's the best.



Those right hand runs tend to steal the glory but listen to that left hand shift between stride, walking tenths, counter-melodies and then pauses before putting the finishing touch on an some impossible run by the right hand. He never misses a beat, he never makes a mistake and never plays it safe. Endlessly enjoyable!
