ghost of miles Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 This one coming soon from Resonance: I’m thrilled to be working with acclaimed archival record producer Zev Feldman and Resonance Records on Jewels in the Treasure Box: The 1953 Chicago Blue Note Jazz Club Recordings from jazz icon and virtuosic pianist Art Tatum. An incredible find, this previously unissued 3-LP collection of recordings was captured live at the Blue Note jazz club in Chicago in March of 1953 with guitarist Everett Barksdale and bassist Slam Stewart. It will be released via LP on Record Store Day, April 20, 2024 with the 3-CD set and downloads to follow on April 26. Stream Art Tatum’s Just One of Those Things These recordings were transferred from the original tape reels and mastered for LP by engineer Matthew Lutthans (who also worked on Resonance's Grammy-nominated 2019 Nat King Cole release Hittin' the Ramp). Containing nearly 3 hours of never-before-heard Art Tatum captured in an intimate setting at the height of his powers with his longtime trio, the deluxe, limited-edition 180-gram 3-LP gatefold set includes rare photos and memorabilia from Herman Leonard, Bob Parent and the Holzfeind family archives (owners of the Blue Note jazz club in Chicago); plus liner notes from Columbia University professor and author, Brent Hayes Edwards; as well as statements from Ahmad Jamal, Sonny Rollins, Monty Alexander, ELEW, Spike Wilner, Johnny O'Neal, Michael Weiss and Terry Gibbs. Pre-order the CD here: Resonance Records and Bandcamp P.S. We also thought you might be interested in knowing about God is in the House, a new Art Tatum biography from author Mark Lehmstedt. With a wealth of previously unnoticed material, stories of many contemporaries and countless reports in the daily press and jazz journals, Lehmstedt unfolds a fascinating portrait of a unique artist and the pulsating world of jazz of his time. www.wolke-verlag.de Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 I prefer Tatum in a group setting to solo, so I may get this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Dryden Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 I can listen to Art Tatum in any setting, this will be a treasure. I wonder why the family didn't approach a label sooner rather than risk something happening to these precious tapes? Maybe the club owner died and they were packed away and not immediately discovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 My only possible qualm is the possibility that there will be more set pieces and not so much Tatum zoning out into his secret world. But that's the risk you run with Tatum, especially trio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 There's a story about Slam Stewart having a bit too much to drink during an engagement and Art Tatum ran him through the ringer with his technique as punishment. The late George Ziskind got ahold of some unreleased Art Tatum but didn't feel like he could share it, evidently due to an agreement with whoever supplied him the music. He never went into any details about what he had. Of course, that was the same situation for the late Art Tatum discographer Arnold Laubich.

Chuck Nessa Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 I think I'm good with 28 Tatum cds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
