      @@cosmic_gate476 Oh wow. If you enjoy jazz - and jazz piano - you need to check out Art Tatum, arguably the greatest jazz pianist of all time. Blind in one eye and partially blind in the other, he intimidated the other pianists of his time - including Peterson (in fact, according to Peterson, after he heard Tatum, he refused to play for almost two weeks). Fats Waller came into a salon where Tatum was playing and refused to play, saying "I play piano but God is in the house." Apparently when he was learning piano he was inspired by a record of player pianos and tried to emulate them, not knowing that it was near impossible. Tatum was never the best as far as groups (not a good accompanist) but he reached the heavens when he played.
