Art Tatum

2 LPs ON 1 CD Plus 1 BONUS TRACK

This release contains the complete original LP "More of the Greatest Piano of Them All" (Verve MGV-8347), showcasing the brilliant pianist unaccompanied. This album, which includes original liner notes by André Previn, was part of the marathon sessions jazz producer Norman Granz planned for Tatum, who at that time was seriously ill and neglected by record companies due to stylistic changes in the music industry. He would die on November 5, 1956 at the age of 47.

As a bonus, the complete album Still More of the Greatest Piano Of Them All (Verve MGV-8360), which includes original liner notes by Teddy Wilson, plus one extra track, all recorded during the same sessions.
