Recorded between August 1934 & December 1952. Includes liner notes by Arnold Laubich.
This sampler has 16 Art Tatum recordings reissued in chronological order that date from 1934-1950. All but the closing "Indiana" (which has guitarist Everett Barksdale and bassist Slam Stewart) are unaccompanied piano solos, and they are drawn from the Decca, Capitol, and Verve catalogs. Tatum was always a remarkable virtuoso so, even if this set is not completely definitive (it could not be without having Tatum's 1933 recording of "Tiger Rag"), there are many gems here. Tatum is typically miraculous on such songs as "The Shout," "Get Happy," "Blue Skies," and "Yesterdays." ~ Scott Yanow

| | Mat Maneri Sustain CD (2002)
Definitive Art Tatum
$13.89 It is difficult to think of this as anything but pure joy, although in some ways it is less intense than other releases led by the remarkable violist Mat Maneri and it is stamped with a cerebral quality from the start. There is a surprisingly charming density, too, that comes through on most tracks, though as with most of his work, there are few if any melodic references but instead a focus on color and sound. Maneri carefully paces himself and the quintet so that every note counts, resulting in some of his most interesting work on disk. At times it might seem somewhat slow, even morose, but upon close listening a diversity and a depth are revealed that belie the noir episodes. Of course, it helps to have major talent such as bassist William Parker and multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee, who is heard exclusively on soprano sax. Ultimately, what makes this so attractive is that the suite of tunes is somehow completely different than anything else that the violist has recorded before and it has the stamp of something important that transcends individual notes. Craig Taborn's stunning keyboards sound like an electric guitar at ...
| | Dave Isaacs Prodigal Son CD (2003)
Definitive Art Tatum
$15.19 Best-known in the New York region for his work with Jackalope Junction, Dave Isaacs is a talented songwriter and guitarist and his debut album Prodigal Son shows a confident artist at work, particularly in the arrangements, which are warm, fluid, and pop/jazzy. The songs themselves fall on the intimate side of adult contemporary, and Isaacs' voice has a comfortable, familiar feel to it, sounding like Elton John at times or a quietly soul-searching Jim Croce. The sad torch song "Isabella," which opens the album, pretty much sets the table. ~ Steve Leggett
Recorded in Nashville and New York with a cast of guest musicians including fiddle virtuoso Peter Hyrka (Gypsy Hombres) and steel guitar wizard John Widgren (Victoria Shaw, Western ...
