About this album
The Tatum Solo Masterpieces, Vol. 1 is a superb showcase for Art Tatum’s astonishing solo piano art. Issued in 1975, the collection gathers performances that underline why Tatum is still regarded as one of jazz’s most technically formidable and harmonically inventive pianists. His readings of standards such as Moonglow, Body and Soul and Have You Met Miss Jones transform familiar material through fleet invention, deep swing and lightning-fast reharmonisation. At the same time, Tatum never loses the song’s shape or melodic grace, making virtuosity feel effortless. The result is a landmark document of swing-era pianism and a benchmark for solo jazz interpretation.
