His party trick was asking someone to take all the coins out of his pocket and toss them onto a table. Just by hearing, he could tell you how much there was. I forget which musician said it but someone said jokingly of Tatum's hearing that Tatum could pick out the dominant chord of a flushing toilet.
It kills me he died so young. As full blown as his technique was from the very beginning, his expression deepened in his years. Just another decade and who knows what he would've done.
My favorite rendition of this beautiful ballad. My God! Tatum made such beautiful music.
his phrases overlap like counterpoints, ridiculously good
I love this!
Tatum was so special. What a telent. He captures the beauty of this piece.
He remembered every person's voice,players stats in sports,tell bills by touching them,Pitches of "noises"...and loved Paps blue ribbon!!!

@@danielbaech4272 -- Great.....BRAVO from Mexico City!
The greatest of all.
compare Oscar Peterson's version with this - and it is close !
@@MrJpartridgeOscar himself said Tatum was the goat but perhaps you know better piano than him
I always hear a bit of his Yesterdays in this one.
directly from his heart... and directly to mine
I love this piece! Tatum captures the beauty of this song. What a talent!
I did not know this wee beauty, one of his more bellisima tunes of Tatum's wonderfully Jazzed up world.
Love those amazing runs ❤️
Am I the only one here who likes Art’s recordings from the 50s a lot more than his earlier work?
He was certainly a more mature and introspective player in the 1950s. Beautiful music. Just beautiful.

Aye, he made the best moozic, and so do you, and so do we, and so does 'I'.
I love that repetitive 11th note (B) that sibgs over those fat F# minor 11th chords in that 7, 3, 6, 2 progresion
