Art Tatum - Art Tatum In Private
Review by Eloise Millard
Art Tatum In Private is a remarkable album that showcases the incredible talent of jazz pianist Art Tatum. The album features rare recordings of Tatum playing in a more intimate setting, allowing listeners to truly appreciate his virtuosity and creativity.
The album opens with the upbeat and lively "Tea for Two," which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. Tatum's lightning-fast fingers dance across the keys, effortlessly weaving together complex melodies and intricate harmonies.
Throughout the album, Tatum shows off his impressive range and versatility, effortlessly transitioning between different styles and moods. From the playful "Elegy" to the hauntingly beautiful "Body and Soul," Tatum's playing is always expressive and deeply emotional.
One standout track is "Liza," which features Tatum's signature stride piano style. The piece is a masterclass in rhythmic complexity and harmonic richness, showcasing Tatum's unique approach to jazz piano.

Notes
- Sometime in the late 1940's a prominent Hollywood studio pianist employed Art Tatum to play for just him in his well-equipped studio-den. Tatum was picked up from his gig, escorted to a magnificent Steinway, provided with a bottomless bottle of scotch and his host retired to the console of his "latest thing" 30-inches-per-second Ampex.
- The performance, obviously no the disciplined product of a cold studio recording session, is relaxed and warm, a marvelous glimpse of Art Tatum, master jazz pianist, just playing a few tunes he liked--a Jazz Chronicle.
