  • Wow. That's one helluva anectdote about Horowitz and Art Tatum!

  • Two great pianists interchanging their views on Art Tatum. enthralling.  pathar

  • And Horowitz never played Tea for Two again.--lol

  • What a great man! Art tatum was an alien because he practically lived on the piano and not planet earth however Oscar did live on earth but despite this fact the fact that they are two of the best jazz musicians ever will always remain.

  • Previn's got cojones playing jazz infront of Oscar!!

  • @bazzatt1 Sorry, bazzat, okay, maybe he can't play it classical style right on the spot (he would probably have to do a little practice first), but hey? Next thing we know, he's doing all those fuck-fast runs, dissonant jazz chords, stride etc. in an insanely faster tempo and make you think as if there were three pianists playing.

    Understand that Tatum defeated a dozen of the greatest jazz pianists who ever lived in cutting contests, and garnered praise from even Rubinstein or Rachmaninoff.

  • Do me a favor, bazzat, get out.

  • @bazzatt1 n tatum could play carmen easy

  • @bazzatt1 lol foolish response. the difference is, tatum improvised things that most other musicians had to sit down and compose to make. plan and simple. he had a genius mind, regarding music

  • That was a stupid comment about HOROWITZ,..,.,

    Art tatum could never,ever play the CARMEN FANATASY FOR PIANO in classical style.

    There is just a few pianists today that can play that piece at the real tempo,correct.
