Music reviews of Solo Masterpieces, Vol. 2
Music Review: Timeless
Rating: 5 Stars
These sessions were recorded a little more than 50 years ago, near the end of Tatum's life. Perhaps it was mere coincidence that it came at an end of that era in music as well; the shift to rock and roll and rhythm and blues. Many of the songs are much older.
Yet it all holds up so well. This is acoustic piano played by a man who learned it in the cultural glory days of the parlor player piano, the symbol of middle class arrival in its day.
In these recordings, you hear everything about the piano from a man for whom the piano was everything. In Tea For Two, he does what many classical composers have done in writing variations on a simple theme. Only these are performances as well as compositions. There are stories that he could play Tea for Two for an hour and never repeat the same variation on it twice. It has to be heard to be believed.
If it were possible to build a piano with more than 88 keys, Tatum would already know where they were and what to do with them.
Another of my favorites, I Didn't Know What Time It Was. This is the kind of song Sinatra described as a "saloon song." Tatum preserves that quality of the song while making it fit together like a well crafted sonata. There are even a few soft diminished chimes. The time? Time to listen to more Tatum.
