Oscar Peterson on Art Tatum 

Art Tatum was special. So was Oscar Peterson who got his inpiration from Art. People like this are rare.

it gives me goosebumps just listening to oscar talking about art

I've seen so many comments about people saying Oscar is the greatest pianist ever. Oscar always humbly mentioned Art Tatum with reverence. Those stories about Shostakovich, Horowitz paying their respects to Art!

Beautiful post, variations. Thanks!!

Damn! It like that man possesses three, entirety separate brains! One handles the left hand, one handles the right hand and the third brain assigns them the ideas to carry out. No way to ever beat that!

Art Tatum landed on Earth from another Galaxy.

Great! Never saw interviews of him!

Oscar has far more range, virtuosity and creativity than Tatum. It's wonderful they were able to push themselves to that level.
