Review
The fifth installment of Classics' Art Tatum story contains 24 piano solos that showcase the musician as the one-man band he was. These are breathtaking studio recordings made for Captiol and Columbia and also live performances recorded at the "Just Jazz" concerts staged at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. While only one Tatum original is included, "Tatum-Pole Boogie," he mainly tackles standards like "Willow Weep for Me," "Someone to Watch over Me," "My Heart Stood Still," and "Makin Whoopee." ~ Al Campbell, All Music GuideTracks
