plus he wuz nearly blind - so respec da skillz!

He could’ve said he waz blind to compensate fo his less-than adequate girth.

But anyhow, dis mofo iz a true legend indeed. So MUCHIO RESPECO. Yet I still think RUDY will own him, wit 3 digits. 8)

u obviously havent felt da tru extent of his girth yet 8)

Art Tatum was the best technical jazz pianist in history…I’m certain he could handle some of the toughest in the classical repertoire.

Vlad and Kapell went out of their way to hear him in nyc whenever possible; 'nuff said.

hahahaha, who da fuck iz u?

Oscar Peterson, too.

Who do you guys think was the best extemporizer in history? (Of Jazz pianists, excluding people like Bach who, given a theme could improvise three and four(?) part fugues at the drop of a hat)

BTW: the first guest…was I. 8)

The usual suspects: Tatum, Peterson, Bill Evans, Monk, etc.
