@baiba6 Uraemia crisis
@iplaymusc …strictly speaking, sharps and flats can be the same thing
@TheMikester307, So did he!
@helmut4lyfe, Video tape did not exist when he lived.
@guitarslim56
Really, so video didn’t exist in the 1950′s?
@tombokickass … not strictly speaking, depends on what key its in . minor/major ..
@GerRaffe321 No, majors and minors have nothing to do with it.
Db major is the same as C# major. They are enharmonic. They sound exactly the same, yet they are written differently, Motherfucker.
@tombokickass as i said….NOT stictly speaking lol… i didnt know you wanted to get technical LoL .. rite back at ya mofo
)
@tombokickass Lol. You just passed music theory level 1. GOOD JOB! lol
@iplaymusc fuck off, mate.
hell!
@helmut4lyfe Video tape was introduced in 1957, the year after Tatum died. He was filmed on many occasions. people today use “video” to describe moving film.
@guitarslim56 wow you are dumb…
@TheMikester307 Guys like him lived on steak and booze back then. George Gershwin, Kurt Wile, Louis Jordan and more all lived the good life and keeled over around age 50.
@pianiplunker he was a fantastic improviser, because he could arrange and re-harmonize on the spot, which really is the essence of improvising. such complex arrangements as this one of course are carefully worked out, i agree
@guitarslim56
How is there video of him then? Dumb ass.
Tatum must have had 88 fingers, one for each key. My goodness, the way he tickles the ivories is impeccable.
@florafox sort of..listen to his later works, they are very mature, obviously, but clearly new in some, hard to pin down sense. “classical” music (as opposed to boroque) hadnt quite gone where he was going, though it is hard, even so much later, to say exactly why/how/in what way. Requim is especially telling.
@oct212006 this is the song i’d like to have video of him playing more than anything.
@guitarslim56
It existed but was destroyed in a fire according to Wikipedia..
@helmut4lyfe Actually video tape technology was still in developmental stages when Art Tatum died in 1956. Most “videos” of Tatum playing are kinescopes.
just how the heck would anyone play this!?
i just LOVE the bass on this song!!
@16yearoldwhiteboy
By bass I’m assuming you mean Tatum’s left hand?
@helmut4lyfe Yes i love it!! I want to try to play like him if i can.. Happy 4th everyone.
