I've got a fellow here. That's one of the all -time stars of music a guy that most of us agree

Is really the greatest living jazz pianist? Hello everybody. It's a pleasure to be back again

You know art has just signed an exclusive recording contract with capital and we're pretty excited about it

But why don't you tell the folks about it yourself art? You're not nearly as excited as I am Paul

It's a pleasure to be with the capital organization, and I hope I can do them some good and of course myself

When's your first album coming out art from what I can understand Paul

It should come out around the latter part of March, and we have eight numbers in the album

I'll try to name a few of them

Dardanella blue skies

Have a right to sing the blues and one that I'm very fond of and Higgins blues was written by WC Henley a few years

ago

Well, it's just that we're really pretty proud of this album the recording quality captures arts wonderful technique and taste perfectly

I get a real thrill every time I hear him play

And I know a lot of other people will too not only jazz followers

But anyone who likes good music you better take that kind of easy. I'm not a concert pianist

I mean I don't accept that come on art. Okay, okay?

Why don't you tell the folks something about the piano you have at home?

I understand it's a pretty important item in the Tatum household isn't it yes?

I have a good Steinway

I've had it for about nine years since I've had my house and that

Incidentally was the first thing to come in the house was a panel gee

I certainly remember the first time I heard art was in 1933 after I'd been hearing about him from everyone in the music business

Well, you're gonna make me tell my age. I've been playing quite a while. I'll say over 20 years anyway

It was just about one of the most thrilling experiences

I've ever had and the best surprise of all is that today. I'm even more thrilled with his fresh interpretations and new harmonies for example

Just listen to the recording of nice work if you can get it featured in arts new album

Well, I hope everybody else enjoys it as well as you say you did it's been a real pleasure

I'll see you soon, and thanks a lot for inviting us over
