I dont't doubt it. ;>-,)
So I say potaitums and you say potaatums?
But,business: Tatums little cosmic joke was that early this morning, in a classic radio- channel program, a well know Dutch musician who could present his favorites and talk about it, also had a small Jazz issue . Before he announced his favorite I knew it would be Tatum. As it was. Oh, that's isn't cosmic, that's downright psychic. It was a 1955-take he offered: Begin the Beguin. (start of the day)!!
I hadn't thought of Art Tatum since 1960 till yesterday's topic and Jazz is rarely mentioned in this classic program.
Presentator added anecdote: Horowitz was his great admirer and they met several times. Horowitz asked if he could try to play one of Tatums pieces which he got and he studied it note by note and performed at Tatums place exactly like Tatum did. Tatum's reaction was: 'Fantstic! Now , you see, you could also still do it this way: he set down and played the piece in a variation that was even far greater than the first version.
Horowitz never came back .
