Art Tatum: After You've Gone (1954) 

There were many a music historian that posited that Charlie Parker was influenced by Tatum. Bebop wasn't invented in a vacuum. With Art Tatum, you can hear the layering of rhythm that become prevalent later on with bebop. Cross rhythms, polyrhythms, and even polymeter--and Art Tatum could do that all by himself and make it SWING. Just goes to show--everything in the service of making the music dance. Complexity is never for complexity's sake--it's to propel the music, to feed into that infectious inertia that makes you want to tap your feet, get up, and make a fool of yourself in public ;)

Tatum was out of this world

I love that various classical piano icons took time out to go down and see the piano giant named Art Tatum

This is why Rachmaninoff became insecure.

he is so good its hard to comprehend

If I might butt in: measure 16, the chord on the anticipation of 3 is missing the E natural in the right hand at the bottom of the staff, a third below the melody G. It’s the juiciest note, or the Tatum-est note in that chord - the #11 in the 13 chord. I hope you don’t mind the observation!

Very well done - important work to document the brilliance of the greats like this

It is the rhythm that makes tatum unique more than the speed. Never heard someone else that can convincngly do this. Oscar Peterson could get close but he wasnt as rhythmically distinct .

bravo et merci👍tatum is the greatest ever, my humble opinion ,but most of the professional pianists agree with me

Holy moly, Tatum was truly amazing at piano playing. Wow!

What a genius.

Amazed everytime I hear him-he does have a pattern, Intro impressionistic, then stride and then take it home to Mars.So in three minutes you can go cry or practice another 8hours. Like Django -only one ever, never gonna be another.

Thanks a lot for your work. I just love this version of Tatum.

my favorite of tatum's, excellent work

Спасибо за проделанную работу и возможность скачать Ноты, понятно , что так не сыграть, но будем стремиться.Ещё раз огромное СПАСИБО!!!

great job with the transcription

Oscar Peterson was great but Tatum was in a class entirely of his own.

I'm finding it hard to read with a key signature of Eb when the actual key is Bb.

Awesome.

It is the "etc" for me. 😃😃

thanks! so much to learn from that, awesome work

wow, thank you for this

Rachmaninoff: "If this man picks up classical music we're all in trouble"

merci bcp Vincent . extra et tellement utile ❤

How does he do that???😮

On wayyyyyy nother level. How you you compare Art to Oscar?

Can you please finish it!

Lol at etc….

Score is missing some notes on those descending arpeggios. There’s some 2nds in those runs.

Great job, Vincent! Have you thought about transcribing any of Pauline Alpert's arrangements?

Note to self: grow sixth finger on right hand

unbelievable stride 1:48

No matter how you listen to it, it's a Bb key development. 🤔

I am ignorant. Is this jazz?

If Shawn Lane was a Pianist

at 0:35. I think the Bb7 is missing some extensions. I think there is a #11 in there.

Пианист - инопланетянин!!!

his blindness was a lie

He was blind

Etc...😂

bähh tenth^^
