Art Tatum
BEST OF THE COMPLETE PABLO GROUP MASTERPIECES
Pablo 1954, 55, 56 / 2003
Excellent notes by Scott Yanow.
During the last three years of his life, Art Tatum was extensively recorded by producer Norman Granz for his Clef and Verve labels, including 125 solo performances contained in the seven-CD Complete Pablo Solo Masterpieces (Pablo 4404). Granz knew that Tatum also excelled when teamed with stimulating players, so 80 selections were recorded with all-star groups and collected in the six-CD Complete Pablo Group Masterpieces (Pablo 4401). It is from the latter that the dozen selections on this "best of" set are drawn.
