Art Tatum plays "How High the Moon" (1944/1945/1949)

[@ajpr3404]

How high the piano of Art Tatum.

[@peterashford7855]

and in the 1949 solo, it doesn't take much imagination to understand how many of his peer pianists in the 30s 40s and 50s were totally awestruck at his ability. probably the most extraordinarily gifted pianist in history, who could play anything

[@athinatzouve2000]

He plays like a thunderbolt, there will never be another Art Tatum again. He has the hands of God.

[@oriraykai3610]

Not true. He's on his second reincarnation now after Art. Check out Kenny Drew Jr.

[@imanihekima1659]

Jazz was born in New Orleans but Art Tatum came from another planet.

My dad idolized TATUM

[@oriraykai3610]

My Dad has his records and hated them. But at least that's how I heard of him. 😆

The Piano had to be proud to be used by this magician of truly Art.
