Description: Pianist Patrick J. Collins offers a loving tribute with photos, an article, and audio of his playing a Tatum transcription.
I believe that Art Tatum somehow changed everything I understood about piano playing. Here was a man who played incredibly complex lines with insane left hand stride accompaniments, flawlessly -- and he was blind! When I listened to his recordings, I thought... "This can't even be a human... It's too perfect.". The speed and precision with which he executed his virtuosic runs was one thing; The fact that they were perfectly even metrically made his playing completely unique to me. It was at that moment that I realized, I could spot Art Tatum's playing instantly...anywhere. He was unbelievable technically, as well as musically.. And did I mention that he was blind?
