jheis Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Art Tatum may have been the greatest pianist who ever lived - as one of our local DJ's proclaims ... I'm a jazz fan but, frankly, I don't like his music. Thechnical ability isn't everything. To each his own. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyi Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 sorry to catch this late - Tatum imo was very "musical" , gifted and an inspiration/trendsetter. Ken Griffin has been gone 50 years too - ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 nice clip, I love this one, too, recorded seven years earlier. The atmosphere of the room is almost palpable, for a moment we're transported back into a golden era . . around the time the Klipschorn first came out. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5834337201029489270 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
