I love the Duke Treasury Show series. I didn't know they had put out the latest Vol.

Has anyone heard the new Art Tatum release that is supposed to be the first of an 8 Vol. set?

I have this. It is basically for Art Tatum fanatics (I'm one of those). Most of the items have appeared previously on various collectors labels (on vinyl). It's basically radio and World War II Jubilee radio broadcasts in OK but non hi-fi quality. It includes a 1944 session where Tatum plays with the Les Paul trio.

Interesting but not really essential.

If you need one Art Tatum record from this era, look for the Tatum V-Discs records (they should be available on CD) and listen to 'Song of the Vagabonds'. A breathtaking virtuosity item with incredible improvisation. That one is essential.
