Of all the jazz pianists in history, Art Tatum easily towers above the others. Tatum ometimes sounds like two pianists playing at once, and effortlessly makes the transition from swing to the bebop era. His brilliant technique and almost boundless imagination influenced not only other pianists but players of other instruments as well. Storyville is the oldest jazz label in Europe, and they've just about outdone themselves with this 11-disc collection. With solo and small group contexts (including Les Paul!), culled from studio sessions, radio broadcasts, and assorted live performances, TATUM ART is the grail for Tatum completists and serious devotees of the jazz keyboard pantheon.

Art Tatum
The legacy of pianist Art Tatum looms large over jazz. Nearly blind, he possessed a technical prowess that awed even the classical virtuoso Vladimir Horowitz, and his style was completely his own. Tatum's genius was in dissecting, reconstructing, and elaborating the repertoire of the American popular song, an approach that informed and inspired Charlie Parker and the bop generation. Tatum may be best appreciated in his solo work, where he was able to stretch out without overwhelming his sidemen. Recording intermittently from the 1930s until his death in 1956, Tatum made a profound impact on the art of the jazz piano.
