CD Reviews

Not a review, just a heads up....

Mike | New York City, USA | 03/25/2008

(1 out of 5 stars)

"I was looking for a CD with these great artists, and I see that Amazon has "The Gods Are in the House". GREAT! Or so I thought....

When I clicked on the CD image (you should do the same), and read the very top line of the CD cover, it stated:

"Unique *RECREATIONS* of classic piano recordings reproduced in today's high quality sound."

Now I take "Recreations" to mean that someone else is playing these artist's songs, NOT the actual artists themselves - Johnson, Tatum and Waller.

I want to hear the ACTUAL artists playing, not someone else's "recreation".

So if you were thinking of buying this CD to hear these great pianists, I would look elsewhere.

Outstanding CD for stride piano lovers

"The creator of this CD did an excellent job, especially in case of the Art Tatum tracks. As a live playing imitator of Art Tatum cannot cope with his tempo, the special way how this CD has been produced overcomes this problem. Art Tatum sounds perfect as well as the two other stride pianists Fats Waller and James P. Johnson."
