Product description

"Piano Starts Here" is a timeless collection of jazz and ragtime masterpieces performed by the legendary Art Tatum, released on January 1, 1933, under the Legacy/Columbia label. This concise yet impactful album spans just 35 minutes, but within that time, Tatum's virtuosic playing and innovative style redefine what's possible on the piano. The tracklist is a blend of standards and original compositions, including "Tea for Two," "St. Louis Blues," and "Sophisticated Lady," showcasing Tatum's ability to infuse each piece with his unique flair. Live recordings like "How High the Moon" and "Tatum Pole Boogie" capture the energy and spontaneity of his performances, while slower, more introspective pieces like "Willow Weep for Me" highlight his emotional depth. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or new to the genre, this album offers a pure, unfiltered experience of one of the greatest pianists in history.

This is a 1989 Reissue released as a LP.

  • Tatum's Timeless Jazz Piano Brilliance

    3 out of 5 stars
    zejuHY_February 18, 2024United States🇺🇸

    In the realm of jazz piano, Art Tatum was the Eddie Van Halen of his time, showcasing extraordinary piano skills way ahead of his peers in the '50s. This thoughtfully assembled compilation of solo piano works exhibits his signature stride-influenced approach. Tatum's renditions of standards seamlessly blend regular and double-time passages, adorned with blazing two-finger arpeggios and pentatonic sequences. It's an absolute masterclass for any aspiring pianist. Standout tracks feature a technically demanding "Humoresque", his enchanting "Willow Weep For Me", and the breathtaking "Tatum Pole Boogie"—at times, it seems like there are three hands playing at once! Unfortunately, the original recordings are subpar, so you'll need to look past the audio quality to appreciate the brilliance of the performances. Consequently, it's futile to discuss the pressing quality, as even a below-average disc won't significantly alter the sound. 3 stars.

Art Tatum, a legendary American jazz pianist, remains one of the most celebrated and virtuosic musicians in jazz history. Born on October 13, 1909, in Toledo, Ohio, Tatum's extraordinary technical ability and innovative playing style left an indelible mark on the genre. From his early career, fellow musicians marveled at his prowess, and he continued to push the boundaries of jazz piano with his groundbreaking use of reharmonization, voicing, and bitonality. Tatum's repertoire spanned jazz, ragtime, and bebop, showcasing his versatility and genius. Despite his untimely death at the age of 47 in 1956, his influence endures, inspiring awe among pianists worldwide.
