Music reviews of Piano Starts Here: Live at the Shrine - Zenph

Music Review: The Pinnacle
Rating: 5 Stars

This album conveys the very best of recorded solo performance at the piano. To say "there is nothing else like it" overlooks the efforts of those who have carefully sought to emulate Tatum's genius. Dick Hyman clearly belongs in the latter category; Hyman's "Blues in the Night" album, for example, includes material that goes a long way toward achieving a technical resurrection of Tatum's boundless virtuosity. Dick Hyman never disguises his debt to his source, however; Hyman's loving emulations of Tatum's playing are respectfully explicit.

But to stand at the mountain-top, please listen to this flawless reproduction. There is nothing else like it.

"Piano Starts Here" is a seminal album that belongs in the library of every serious pianist: classical, blues, jazz, country, comedy... Art Tatum's sense of humor is on full display in these numbers, by the way; sadly, Art was frequently relegated to the ranks of "hired talent" in the canned radio interviews that serve as lead-ins to other Tatum recordings. Tatum's stiff readings of scripted radio dialogue threaten to undermine the zany, subversive, Groucho-like antics that enliven so many of his interpretations.

The classic catalog of thirteen tunes in the original is offered twice here, in slightly different recorded formats, to offer contrasting playback modalities for the impeccable editorial clean-up that's been achieved. For some, the duplication may seem laborious and unnecessary. Still another peccadillo is the insertion of canned applause at the end of each number.

These, however, are minor irritants in the scheme of things. To hear Art Tatum "clean," in a flawlessly recorded sound environment, is a musical miracle. Twenty-five years ago, "Piano Starts Here" sounded like an album recorded by Edison for the Smithsonian. Today it sounds as if Art Tatum were alive and well in Los Angeles. Hats off to the brilliant achievements of these fine engineers and archivists.
