Art Tatum plays In a Sentimental Mood (piano solo, 1953)

recorded in 1953 "Art Tatum The Complete Pablo Solo Masterpieces" Art Tatum (1909 - 1956) was probably the greatest pianist who ever lived, beyond any distinction of style and genre. The collection of over 120 solo piano improvisations made for Norman Granz, recorded in just four days - between 1953 and 1955 - is absolutely stunning. Every old standard becomes a masterpiece in his hands.Track after track, following his inexhaustible creativity, Tatum gives us a wonderful legacy of his genius.
