The The Art Tatum Solo Masterpieces, Vol. 1 [Remastered]

by Art Tatum

Overview

The first of eight CDs reissuing the 119 piano solo performances that Art Tatum recorded for Norman Granz during four marathon record sessions has its moments, although in general this series lacks the excitement of Tatum's earliest recordings. The pianist interprets such standards an this first volume as "Body and Soul," "It's Only a Paper Moon" and "Willow Weep for Me." ~ Scott Yanow
