Chick Corea hosts the Art Tatum trio clip of their warm up piece called tiny's exercise. FACT#1: Art Tatum was completely blind in his left eye and had severe cataracts (blurred/cloudy vision) in his right eye. FACT#2: When Tatum walked into a club where Fats Waller was playing, Waller stepped away from the piano bench to make way for Tatum, announcing, "I only play the piano, but tonight God is in the house". FACT#3: After hearing Art Tatum play, Oscar Peterson was so intimidated by what he heard that he did not touch the piano for over a week. FACT#4: Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, after hearing Tatum play, claimed he was the greatest piano player in any style. (more)

@MAJORSNODGRASS Seriously? Music is what one person feels it too be, esp Jazz. So if someone wants more, (esp. Art Tatum, one of the best Jazz piano players ever) then more is more. Besides, bop was more complex!

Bebop isn't less. If anything it's MORE. It's more complex harmonically and also usually very up-tempo and frenetic. You could say Charlie Parker or Miles Davis sound "dated" but it doesn't really mean much. The music is either good or it's not, and this music is most definitely GOOD!

@psycho0009 because there's a bassist
MAJORSNODGRASS (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
As I say its pre-bebop (pre-1945) so it does sound dated even korny. I don't doubt his technique but sometimes less is more.

@MAJORSNODGRASS you have to have lost your damn mind... no you seriously are crazy for saying that... I KNOW you can't play that.
