With Django being a distant 2nd, tatum is without question, the greatest _muscian_ to ever have lived.

"One time in 1938 Tatum dropped in to hear Waller play at a club. By way of introduction Waller told the audience, "I just play the piano, but God is in the house tonight.""

@setonioboy When he was learning how to play he heard player pianos, which actually play 2 pianos in one, and thought it was one person playing it. He just wanted to fit in, and ended up playing about 6 parts with his 2 hands instead of the usual 4.

BEST JAZZ PIANIST EVER. Where has he been all my life? I've been searching for jazz piano music like this for a while now. Art Tatum is THE shit. I love his solos. I can't get enough of him. Don't think there's a song of his that I don't like. And that's saying a lot.
