Art Tatum - The Art Of Jazz Piano

Since there isn't a lot of Art Tatum video and film footage, you see a lot of photos of the pianist a la Ken Burns. Interviews and demonstrations by Dick Hyman and Hank Jones, plus contributions by a few others, including Milt Hinton and Tatum discographer Arnold Laubich. The group shots from 'The Fabulous Dorseys' are included, but not the trio material. There's a short clip of Tatum's trio playing "Tiny's Exercise" and the pianist's solo treatment of "Yesterdays" from 'The Spike Jones Show,' but the solo video clip on You Tube of "Humoresque" is missing. It's pretty well done, all in all.
