The Tatum Group Masterpieces

The Tatum Group Masterpieces collects Art Tatum's small-group recordings and highlights his prodigious piano technique, inventive harmonies, and rhythmic subtlety in an ensemble setting. Featuring interpretations of standards and popular tunes, the performances balance dazzling solo passages with interactive accompaniment from horns and a rhythm section, offering a view of Tatum's virtuosity outside solo piano repertoire and his influence on swing-era jazz practice.
