  • Description

    The 20 tunes (72 min.) on this CD have never been previously released. The music was recorded live on TV (Steve Allen ’s Tonight Show) and in clubs in New York, Washington D.C. and Chicago, during the year before Tatum died in November, 1956.
    Tatum plays in trio format except for 3 solo numbers. The repertoire consists of Art Tatum favourites and popular swing jazz standards. Art Tatum was the most exceptional and technically brilliant jazz pianist of all time, the benchmark against which all jazz pianists are measured. The only recorded trio versions by Tatum of �I Cover The Waterfront� and �Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams� are to be found on this CD.
    Tracks: Would You Like To Take A Walk? / Soft Winds / Flying Home / I Cover The Waterfront / Soft Winds / Tenderly / Tea For Two / Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams / Body And Soul / Sweet Lorraine / September Song / My Heart Stood Still / Don’t Blame Me / Willow Weep For Me / Flying Home / Moon Song / Just One Of Those Nights / Flying Home / Would You Like To Take A Walk? / You Go To My Head.
