Synopsis

Album Description
A 100th birthday celebration of a true jazz giant; pianist Art Tatum. It is no stretch to state that Art Tatum was the jazz world's first, and arguably greatest, virtuoso. His seemingly effortless abilities on the keyboard placed him far above the most accomplished of his contemporaries. This album features performances by Louis Bellson, Red Callender, Benny Carter, Buddy DeFranco, Bill Douglass, Harry Edison, Roy Eldridge, Lionel Hampton, Jo Jones, Barney Kessel, Buddy Rich, John Simmons, Alvin Stoller and Ben Webster, and includes insightful liner notes by noted jazz historian Ashley Kahn.
