The Tatum Group Masterpieces, Vol. 1 by Art Tatum - Uhune

COMPILATION

During 1954-1956, Norman Granz recorded the remarkable pianist Art Tatum with a variety of classic jazz masters, resulting in quite a bit of musical magic. This first of eight volumes finds Tatum matching wits with the classy alto of Benny Carter and drummer Louie Bellson -- the results are both tasteful and frequently hard-swinging. ~ Scott Yanow
