Daaaamn! He was an absolute mother.....!!! I knew it, but he stuns me evrey time I hear him, and I'm a so called "modernist". But it's all one music, right, and he was simply stunning.
A mind that always manages to land on top of any harmonic, rhythmic briar-patch, in real time, with swagger & humor, & all that piano! Daring the most difficult landing, & sticking it just for fun. Every time. Of all the geniuses who died young, if only this one could've been with us a little longer.
The 1953 take shows Tatum at the absolute top of his game. It's fortunate that so many recordings exist...he will never be forgotten, and will always be thought of as the absolute greatest. Many thanks to gullivior for these fabulous postings!
Tatum's improvisations have a Baroque-like quality in them - the limited use of pedal, the dry textures of the ornamentation - and even the way he "explores" the harmonic and melodic possibilities in the rhapsodic sections. Listen to any Bach Toccata and you will understand this immediately. I like to describe Art Tatum's playing as having a Baroque-like ornamentation using Impressionistic colors with a Jazz flavor.
Tatum is as always supreme, I love how he quotes "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" at 6:06, from spiritual to classical Tatum throws everything in his music and it is always so potently beautiful
This man was, IMHO, the greatest jazz musician of all time, and possibly the greatest pianist of all time. The great classical pianist Horowitz was one of those blown away by Tatum. That should tell you something.
That's not even an opinion; it's a fact. Tatum influenced everyone that was around him, and that came after him, either directly or indirectly. Tatum was bebop two decades before bebop.
@@the83rdtrombonist60 Agreed with one stipulation, namely that Tatum bridged the gap between jazz and bebop. I've written extensively on the fact that jazz and bebop are two distinctly different genres of music. Most people erroneously assume that bebop is a style of jazz. That said, I completely agree that Tatum was light years ahead of his time, even if he does tend to use the same runs over and over again. Nobody is above criticism.
The most amazing thing is, especially if you know music history from that time period, you can tell where he was inspired from and grew from the first to the last version.
Awesome...I'm absolutely astonished an amazed! Thank you Mr Tatum for your contribution to music for our learning and timeless enjoyment! Genius personified!!!
The 1953 version is definitely be bop refined to a higher degree. The early version shows shades of it. I really have to learn that descending line he keeps doing....
The greatest pianist that ever lived, alongside Frans Liszt! I prefer many over him, But its pointless to argue against such a fact, For no argument is better then arts playing! Art playing art, and how art Plays.
Interestingly, there's a little of the 'dry powdery' effect of Mr. Tatum's single passage work that is reminiscent of Hofmann's superlative playing. While this man's music is foreign to me (and therefore, I should probably not be commenting here), I do recall a version of this piece of John Green's that was arranged in the late '30s by Floyd V. Morgen (before he was deployed in ww2). His friend, Ray Turner, made an impressive recording of it.
Indeed. In my opinion virtuosity in piano takes on two forms - "Angelic" virtuosity, with an emphasis on control, accuracy, and clarity - and "Demonic" virtuosity, with an emphasis on sheer power, excitement, and overall showmanship. Of the former examples include the legendary Michelangeli, Hoffman (as you mention), and in jazz, Art Tatum. Of the latter examples include Gyorgy Cziffra, Arcadi Volodos, and in jazz, Oscar Peterson. Tatum definitely was on the clear, subdued side of technique.
Mulgrew Miller has a very creative version of this that sounds in part influenced by Tatum though not nearly as sophisticated or elaborate. In that category nobody could top Tatum. And if you asked him to play it 100 times, you'd get 100 versions.
Does anyone know if he really played the 1940 version in B Major, or has the pitch been altered through the various generations of the recording? The 1953 version is in C Major, which is the stock key.
i would guess it was slowed from C, or has been speeded up from Bb. Bb is the "stock" key for this song. Although I can believe McCoy Tyner played blues in Db/C# on Blue Trane so fluently, it's hard to imagine even Tatum being able to play so easily in the black note ridden key of B natural. But who knows? Scary thought, him playing that well in B.
Body and Soul is usually in Dflat; the old Reader's Digest Songbook had it in C major, so a band in which I recorded it did it in C, better for the vocalist and pianist. A version by Dexter Gordon, 1969, is just superb.
It's the content, the ballads which young people, in particular, aren't interested in. Even if it's genius, and a lot of people don 't appreciate improvisation and it's depth as well. If you don't care for old ballads, then you aren't going even know what someone like Tatum is doing with them. It's that "old stuff," in some of their minds, unless they are student of jazz and piano.
Well, it's someone quite amazing playing so i can't see any reason why it wouldn't be him, it's got all the classic Tatum ornamentation within the piece. The announcer was just saying how Art would play it as it's probably not his own composition.
Wow, but in the end I think that Tatum comes out tops because his playing is so clean. Of course Peterson usually played with accompaniment so that makes a difference also.

His excessive usage of 'stride' really distracts from the melodic work of the composer. It's a little like a singer staying on one word of the lyric in a song to the extent that you forget what the hell the song was

I just think he’s the most creative, original musician I’ve ever heard. And will forever be.
I think Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson and Errol Garner are all on that same supernatural level.
@@QoraxAudio - agreed. Errol Garner!
That's not even an opinion; it's a fact. Tatum influenced everyone that was around him, and that came after him, either directly or indirectly. Tatum was bebop two decades before bebop.

Extraordinaire richesse harmonique et de créativité !!
The best of all jazz virtuosi and improvisational harmonizers.
Easy to see why Rachmaninoff, when he was in NYC, would go uptown to hear Tatum.
Easy to understand why: genius.
@Aidan Remy we all get you right here, you dumbass.
what a legacy Art left us. his mastery of time, harmonic progressions, substitute chords, leave me aghast. Totally unique pianist
How 12 people hit a negative boggles the mind. Perhaps the greatest jazz pianist of all time!
Talk about living up to one's name.
Body and Soul es un Standart ejecutado por diversos artistas. Art Tatum realiza una versión espectacular.
No words are good enough for this
No doubt, my favorite jazz pianist. Brilliant technique, amazing creativity and exciting and exquisite swing. Bravo Art!!!
A great way to put it , man who sings through his fingers ...
The King. It's an honor to listen to the master. When I hear his voice, it makes me pray.
Why does this have only 7.000 clicks, i will never understand the masses.
@Julius Songling Well, Tatum is posted on other YT channels.
To be fair, these were recorded like a century ago. It's a classic though, so it remains.
@唐三藏 So eloquently put and I have to agree with you.
Also quotes from "The Man I Love" and Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King" in the first take.
Wow he does it a few times with those 2 tunes and Rhapsody, jeez
Thank you so much for posting this beautiful playing by this towering great genius, it is timeless.
Art, is perhaps one of the best piano players of all time!!!
Virian Bouze what do you mean....perhaps???
Immenso, più di tutti.
How could 5 people not like this?? Genius.
Keith. I have come to the conclusion that downvotes probably more mischief than judgement.
I would give so much to be able to listen to this live.
The most amazing thing is, especially if you know music history from that time period, you can tell where he was inspired from and grew from the first to the last version.

No, simply THE best jazz pianist of all time!

Nah
The great pianists' choice as the great jazz pianist, for he was so loved.
That was really fun, and the ending was just beautiful!
"Tatum Pole boogie"Is it three pianist playing ? Wow the best ever!!!!!
grazie mille.
I love this this so cool✌

I'd say Hazel Scott us right there too.
Bud Powell!
Chopin, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Liszt
Tatum, Garner, Powell, Monk, Peterson
All as good at keyboards as you could ever hope to be
@@vibratoryuniverse308, ist ja wunderbar, dass es *so viele verschiedene Genies* gibt!!
He throws in a little quote from Rhapsody in Blue near the end of the first version.
The amazing thing about Tatum is not that his fingers play so fast, but that his mind thinks even faster.
I imagine this kind of perfection is the norm in the bars of Heaven...
Hihi, dann wären im Himmel ja
nicht viele Pianisten.....! 😊😊

Merci pour le partage
Wonderful !! dyezzi::. São Paulo - DC- Brasil
extreme genius
His music should definitely be played as medicine for the ill.
Genius!!!
Thanks very much for this wonderful twofer! Doubled my pleasure, doubled my fun....
I can hear who influenced my father, Art Tatum a true great and died far too young, what is it with African Americans so many great pianists
And then in the second one we get a bit of Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen. :)
The 1940 version is from the "California Melodies" Cd.
Mulgrew Miller has a very creative version of this that sounds in part influenced by Tatum though not nearly as sophisticated or elaborate. In that category nobody could top Tatum. And if you asked him to play it 100 times, you'd get 100 versions.
FANTASTIC ❤
...as HE would have it played!
Only Art Tatum would - could - think of interpolating both Rhapsody in Blue AND Hall of the Mountain King into Body and Soul (1940 version).
Does anyone know if he really played the 1940 version in B Major, or has the pitch been altered through the various generations of the recording? The 1953 version is in C Major, which is the stock key.
i would guess it was slowed from C, or has been speeded up from Bb. Bb is the "stock" key for this song.

Well....he could do it.....no problems.
He has played in B Major many times before with no problems.
Body and Soul is usually in Dflat; the old Reader's Digest Songbook had it in C major, so a band in which I recorded it did it in C, better for the vocalist and pianist. A version by Dexter Gordon, 1969, is just superb.
Das lässt sich doch leicht anhand des 'Kammertons A 440 Hz' überprüfen!
He is idolized by Oscar Peterson, himself an outstanding pianist.
Tatum, in turn, idolized Fats Waller.
@Dave Smith That's what he always maintained, I put it down to modesty and reverence. If Art had a peer it was OP.
Is it just me, or do I hear some Rhapsody in Blue somewhere in there?
+TheObserver End of the first take 3:24
TheObserver yes
2:33 sounds familiar.
I fucking love this man. Also at 2:51
Art and Buddy Rich were from somewhere else. m
You can added Charlie Parker and Django Reinhardt
Why did the announcer say "As *he* would have it played?"
@Honest Citizen Oh, I see.Thks 👍
Why didn't he ever write any tunes? He could have been a fantastic composer.
He'd have needed a transcriber of sorts. Now who would have been able to do that job?😀
His improvisations were his compositions.

Ausgezeichneter Kommentar! Wie recht Sie haben.
THUMBS DOWN---------Wow. Love to hear YOU PLAY............hahahahahahahaha
but is this really tatum himself? in the end he says: this is how tatum would ve played it..
Well, it's someone quite amazing playing so i can't see any reason why it wouldn't be him, it's got all the classic Tatum ornamentation within the piece. The announcer was just saying how Art would play it as it's probably not his own composition.
Most certainly Tatum.
Who the hell else would have been able to play it as Tatum would have it played, huh?
Jenius!!!!!!!!!!!
for a more substantial discussion here is a fair request: Compare Errol Garner, Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum as pianists.
Wow, but in the end I think that Tatum comes out tops because his playing is so clean. Of course Peterson usually played with accompaniment so that makes a difference also.
