Les Paul said when he was young he first was playing piano with his own trio. After a friend showed him Art Tatum for his first time, he said he quit piano right then and there and switched to guitar.

2024 anyone

🤯

That's not playing piano . That's Art ...

When I was at Berklee, mid-70s, I'd bring my bag lunch up to the music library. I was a Rock guitarist, was playing some fairly sophisticated prog rock with my High School band, but was getting curious about this Jazz stuff I was suddenly immersed in. So I'd sign out a tape (reel-to-reel in those days), and one day checked out this Tatum guy someone had raved about. By jaw still hasn't quite made it off the floor.

There are so many great Jazz Pianists, but there is only one GOAT , Art Tatum

What an incredible performance!

Barry Harris said “Art Tatum was too much for all of us.” ❤

Amazing

The math it takes to do that ....

Okay , now I'm buying a piano . To heck with a keyboard ...

I think he played for, and appealed to, two audiences.. Those who were mesmerised by his showmanship and those who were blown away by his musicianship. He was a good friend of Billie Holiday who was similar in that musically she was a genius, but most people only paid attention to the scandal and side-show aspect of her life. What sets an artist like Tatum apart is not his technical ability (which is off the charts) and his expansive understanding of melody and rhythm, but his ability to use those tools to be truly creative. To synthesise what has gone before to create something original and to change the direction of the music. Same with Billie.

THAT PERSON IS A ROBOT NOT A HUMAN OH MY GOD!

"If he starts playing classical music, we're all in trouble." --- Rachmaninoff

Alguien de 2024?

Obviously that's AI.

Such a flawless execution!

There are really good musicians whose career doesn't contain as much information as Art just played in one song

Tearfully amazing! This man was an absolute gift!!

He really is the final boss. The man that struck fear into the heart of Peterson..

I heard Art Tatum for the first time in Philadelphia, PA at a lounge. Tatum had bad eyesight and had someone take him to the piano. What a talent. Two weeks later he passed. Much later I met a Jazz pianist and spoke about Tatum. He got so excited. He said he was a Pianist's pianist. That after a gig all the musicians used to hang out in a place in, I think in the Village in New York and all would get up to play and then would wait for Tatum to play. He had a lot of Tatum's recordings he recorded himself. Ah, those were the days. Miss them. Was glad to find this channel.

😮👍 Clearly, Peterson had TWO (amazing) brains!!😅

wtf

The orginal "All I need is one mic" 🤦‍♂

Google Translate. Miles Davis said that Art was his favorite pianist. Art learned to play by ear. His parents had a lot of records of the piano duo, but Art didn't know it was a duo. He played like a duo.

Of course his technique enabled him to play in every speed you can imagine. But what really kills me is the rhythm. There is not such a blue note besides him

Distorted sound, anyone??

I was looking at memorium videos as I am obsessed with dates of when famous people die and the Art Tatum entry pop up for 1956. They way his playing is described made me come here to see him in action. Nothing prepared me for this. Truly astounding musician.

Watching “Everwood” keeps driving me back to GREAT musical artists! WOW!

1:11 -1:13 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I can now see where Charles Schultz's got his style.

Tatum's technique overshadows his harmonic prowess, one of a kind.

Someone once said I sounded like Tatum. I said Art. They said no, O'Neal.😂

And my next song is the "pabst blue ribbon swing"😅

Technically absolutely stunning, but the soul, depth and warmth is even more amazing.

It sounds like someone played a very complicated piece very slow to ensure precision, then sped it up 10x faster. Art Tatum is that guy that no professional pianist ever wants to challenge.

Fine stuff

amazing !

❤❤❤

Too many notes too often

Executar uma música, principalmente no piano é nos envolver com sons agradáveis e que nos traz paz. Esses sons vindo desse piano, sinceramente me irritam.

Martha Davis The female equivalent of Tatum

I like the way he threw in two bars of My Old Kentucky Home at 3:00.

Art Tatum the best to ever grace the piano.
