Art Tatum - Tea For Two

Though you don't see him, this really is Art Tatum playing this rendition of Tea for Two. My playlists include music by Lee Liberace, Jon England, Richard Clayderman, Roger Williams, Hoagy Carmichael, Michel Legrand, Art Tatum, Dino Kartsonakis, Errol Garner, Charlie Schaffer, Russ Conway, Ferrante & Teicher, Carl Doy, Beegie Adair, Caravelli, Floyd Cramer, Geoff Love, Horst Jankowski, Ronnie Aldrich, Stanley Black, David Foster, Claude Bolling, Edison Valencia, Marrina Waks, and one Liberace imitator who tags his stuff [Roger Williams] and [Branson] and has told me not to mention his name. There are also many pieces by little known [nobodies] who are fantastic piano soloists, admired mainly by their YouTube fans. I am looking for videos of Bill Pursell, Felix Slatkin, George Shearing, John Arpin, Norm Geller, Norman Percival, and Gordon Franks. I would be amiss if I didnt have the greats Del Wood and JoAnn Castle on my page, however, they are only favorited, and not in the playlists. As much as I admire their talent, its a far cry from the romantic style Im after.

Hope you enjoy.

This is not how Tea for Two was played in Art's recording. I heard something different, something better than this. This is a joke that attempts to pay homage to the actual recording. Tons of inaccurate transcribing.

[pianoplaylist]

Well, you know more than I do about it, but this this is created by a computer as his recording is played. It's supposed to be accurate, perfect rendition of the same notes, supposedly.

[pianoplaylist]

Can you post the original recording? It was done in '33, wasn't it?

[BizzMarki]

I'm surprised the piano didn't burst into flames

[JiyeonTheGreat]

this is kinda scary :S

@n3wrx

lol I don't think so

[n3wrx]

@CBasie2856 True, but seriously, I think a completely accurate transcription might break the poor piano.

[CBasie2856]

@12rosebud12

actually he did compose a little. He has a few songs that he wrote, but they were never made mainstream pop tunes in his days. I don't remember what the songs were, but I do know that he wrote a few.

@CBasie2856 Purism is for neurotics.WHO cares about "inaccurate" transcribing? Tatum ain't Chopin, although gifted with the same technical abilities, he didn't compose, he improvised, and if asked to "replay" this or that passage,he would have played it differently from 10 sec. ago. His recordings' sheet transcriptions will always be "moments musicaux", your sole concern must be: DO I SWING or not? Not ONE classical pianist I heard play this from sheet music is able to swing. Just enjoy.

You need to practice a little more piano. tempo is a little off at some parts. Not even a mechanical piano can keep up with tatum.

[CBasie2856]

@Huckabeezer

That is correct.

[Huckabeezer]

@CBasie2856 I hope it is now obvious to you that the version of this song you have on your webpage is not the same one which was duplicated here?

[priciks]

i think art tatum has 4 arms
